A creamy, garlicky, one-pot beef pasta made with ground beef, Parmesan, and a velvety garlic butter sauce — the ultimate easy comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15 or leaner)

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cups beef broth (low sodium)

  • 2 cups short-cut pasta (penne, rotini, or rigatoni)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

  • Add ground beef. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  • Stir in pasta and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on medium-low for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • When pasta is tender and most broth is absorbed, reduce heat. Add heavy cream and Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy.

  • Simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  • Rest for a few minutes before serving.
