Ingredients
8 oz Rotini pasta
1 lb Ground beef
2 tablespoons Olive oil
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Heavy cream
1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned and no longer pink.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine with the beef and garlic.
- Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is creamy. Adjust the consistency with pasta water if needed.
- Add the cooked rotini to the skillet and toss gently until well coated with the sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce.
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy variation.
Use leftover pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
Swap beef with mushrooms or plant-based meat for a vegetarian version.
