Ingredients
-
Ground beef: 1 lb
-
Rotini pasta: 12 oz
-
Beef broth: 4 cups
-
Heavy cream: 1 cup
-
Grated Parmesan cheese: 1 cup
-
Garlic, minced: 4 cloves
-
Olive oil or butter: 2 tbsp
-
Italian seasoning: 1 tsp
-
Salt and pepper: To taste
-
Chopped parsley: Optional, for garnish
Instructions
Begin by heating olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until it’s thoroughly browned, about 5–7 minutes. Drain any excess fat as needed.
Incorporate the minced garlic into the pot, cooking it with the beef for another 1–2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant, enhancing the flavors of the meat.
Pour the beef broth and heavy cream into the pot. Add the uncooked rotini pasta and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, approximately 10–12 minutes.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is creamy, thoroughly coating the pasta.
Dish out the pasta warm, topped with chopped parsley if desired, for a touch of color and freshness.
Notes
Ensure that the pasta is al dente and the sauce thick enough to cling to the rotini, providing every bite with the perfect mix of sauce and pasta.
