Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz about 3 cups bowtie pasta farfalle
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pasta
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare the Beef Mixture
    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  • Season and Simmer
    Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the heavy cream and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Combine with Pasta
    Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt into the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Garnish and Serve
    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal!
