Description
This One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta is a rich, satisfying dish that comes together in under 30 minutes. It combines ground beef, garlic butter, tender pasta, and a creamy Parmesan sauce — all cooked in a single pot for maximum flavor and minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 1/2 cups uncooked penne or rotini pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot or deep skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Push beef to one side of the pot and add butter to the empty side. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in beef broth and stir in uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When pasta is nearly tender and most of the liquid has absorbed, stir in heavy cream. Simmer uncovered for a few minutes until sauce thickens.
- Turn off heat and stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
