Description

A comforting creamy beef pasta dish rich in protein and flavor, perfect for family dinners or impressing guests.


Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta (your choice)
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cheese and mix until melted and smooth.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Use freshly grated cheese for better melting. Consider adding spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
