Ingredients
Scale

- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook ground beef until it’s browned and broken into small pieces, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add chopped onion to the pan and cook until soft and translucent, around 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Season with dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to coat the beef and vegetables.
- Pour in beef broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan, then slowly add heavy cream and combine everything.
- Add the pasta, ensuring it is fully covered by the sauce, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes until the pasta is cooked al dente, stirring occasionally.
- Once the pasta is tender and the sauce is thickened, mix in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving to add freshness and color.
