Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups pasta (penne, rotini, or shells)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Stir in uncooked pasta and bring to a simmer.
  5. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and sauce is thickened, about 12–15 minutes.
  6. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for extra veggies.
  • Swap ground beef with turkey or sausage for variation.
  • Use mozzarella or cheddar for a cheesier version.
  • Add broth or cream when reheating to maintain sauce consistency.
