Ingredients

12 oz rotini pasta
1 lb beef (sirloin or ground), cubed or crumbled
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rotini until al dente, about 8–9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Add parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until melted and smooth. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time.
Return beef to the skillet. Add cooked rotini and toss until fully coated and heated through.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan. Serve hot.
