1. Brown the Beef
In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned (5–7 minutes). Break it up as it cooks and drain excess grease if needed.
2. Sauté Garlic & Butter
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes).
3. Cook the Pasta
Add pasta, broth, seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to submerge the pasta.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
4. Make It Creamy
Stir in cream and Parmesan. Cook for 2–3 minutes more, until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta.
Optional: Add your sautéed veggies here for extra flavor and nutrition.
5. Finish & Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
Garnish with parsley and serve warm—perfect on its own or with garlic bread or a crisp salad.
🌟 Tips for Success
Go Fresh: Fresh Parmesan melts smoother than pre-grated.
Switch It Up: Try turkey, sausage, or plant-based ground meat.
Boost the Veggies: Add spinach, mushrooms, or peppers for color and nutrients.
Save for Later: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce.
