Cooking Steps

  • Brown the Beef: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 pound of ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remember to drain any excess fat afterward.
  • Add Garlic: Next, add 4 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Incorporate Pasta: Now, add 8 ounces of pasta of your choice directly into the pot. Stir it well to combine with the beef and garlic.
  • Pour in Broth: Subsequently, add 2 cups of beef broth to the pot. Make sure the pasta is fully submerged.
  • Season: Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir everything together.
  • Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add Cream: After the pasta is cooked, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Mix well until everything is combined.
  • Finish with Cheese: Finally, add 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
  • Serve: Serve your dish hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
