Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Pasta
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Sautéing the Onion and Garlic
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Browning the Ground Beef
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until well browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Making the Creamy Sauce
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
Combining Everything
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Sprinkle in the grated cheese and stir until melted and fully incorporated.
Serving and Garnishing
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
For substitutions, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, add a splash of milk or cream to retain the creamy texture.
