Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz bowtie pasta
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the bowtie pasta in salted water until it is firm-tender, following the package timing. Drain well and keep it nearby.
- Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, crumbling it as it browns. Spoon off extra grease if needed.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until it smells warm and fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth, then stir in the heavy cream. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
- Mix in the grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce turns smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked bowtie pasta and toss until the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
- Finish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Cook the pasta just until al dente so it keeps a pleasant bite in the creamy sauce.
- A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds color and a light, fresh finish.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently with a small splash of cream to loosen the sauce.
