Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce to coat.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Make sure not to overcook the pasta; it should be al dente to hold up well in the sauce. For extra flavor, consider adding onions or bell peppers when cooking the ground beef. If you like a little spice, you can add crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
