One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta

Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef

• In a large skillet or pot, melt butter over medium heat.

• Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant.

• Stir in ground beef, breaking it apart, and cook until browned.

• Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2: Add Liquids & Pasta

• Pour in beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

• Add uncooked pasta, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.

• Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Make it Creamy & Cheesy

• Once the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens, stir in Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using).

• Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!

• Enjoy with garlic bread or a side salad.

✔ Serve with roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.

✔ Pair with a fresh green salad for balance.

✔ Top with crispy bacon or extra cheese for a richer flavor.

✔ Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.

✔ Want a thicker sauce? Simmer for an extra 2-3 minutes.

✔ Prefer a lighter version? Swap heavy cream for half-and-half.
