Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne, spaghetti, or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or basil (optional, for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Ingredient Substitutes:

  • Dairy-Free: Use plant-based butter and skip the Parmesan or substitute with dairy-free cheese.
  • Gluten-Free: Opt for gluten-free pasta to make this dish suitable for those with gluten intolerance.
  • Beef Alternatives: You can substitute ground turkey, chicken, or sausage for the beef.

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sauté Garlic and Seasoning: Add the minced garlic and dried Italian seasoning to the beef. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the beef broth and add the uncooked pasta. Stir to combine and ensure the pasta is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally.
  4. Add Cheese and Cream (Optional): Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. For a creamier texture, add the heavy cream or milk and stir until smooth.
  5. Season to Taste: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, if desired.
  6. Serve: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Enjoy!
