Ingredients

Pasta

  • 12 oz rotini pasta

Beef and Sauce

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Cook the rotini according to package directions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Brown Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease if needed.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Melt Butter: Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely, blending with the beef and garlic.
  5. Add Cream and Milk: Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk, stirring continuously to combine all ingredients smoothly.
  6. Incorporate Cheese and Seasoning: Add grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix everything evenly.
  7. Simmer Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
  8. Toss Pasta in Sauce: Add the cooked rotini to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is thoroughly coated with the garlic Parmesan sauce.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and nutritional boost.
  • Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese ensures the smoothest and creamiest sauce texture.
