Main Ingredients

  • ground beef
  • pasta
  • olive oil
  • onion
  • garlic
  • heavy cream
  • beef broth
  • grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

Steps

  • Place the frying pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and stir frequently, breaking it into small pieces with your wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is nicely browned and fully cooked, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully drain any excess fat from the pan, and then set the beef aside.
  • In the same pan, add chopped onions and sauté over medium heat until they become translucent and soft, approximately 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, or until fragrant. These aromatics form the base for your creamy sauce, adding depth and flavor.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your choice of pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta using a colander and set aside. Cooking the pasta perfectly ensures it captures all the flavors in the sauce.
  • Returning to your frying pan with the sautéed onions and garlic, pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cooked beef into this creamy concoction, stirring well so the beef absorbs some of the sauce flavors.
  • Finally, add the drained pasta directly into the sauce, tossing carefully to ensure every strand or piece is coated in the luxurious creaminess. Reduce the heat to low, and slowly mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce, creating a wonderfully cheesy flavor. Taste, then season with salt and pepper as desired.

Notes

For storage, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth to refresh the sauce.
