👩🍳 Instructions
Brown the Meat
In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully browned, about 5–7 minutes. Break up the meat as it cooks and drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add Garlic and Butter
Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
Cook the Pasta
Add the pasta, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Create the Creamy Sauce
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta. Toss in any sautéed veggies now if using.
Finish and Serve
Taste and adjust seasonings. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes if you like heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with garlic bread or a fresh salad.
