One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta

Ingredients :

• 1 lb ground beef
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian
• seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces pasta (penne or
• spaghetti works well)
• Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Instructions : 

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant and softened.
   Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
4. Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s covered by the sauce. Add a little extra water or broth if needed. Cover the pot and cook the pasta according to the package instructions (usually about 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
6. Once the pasta is tender and the sauce is creamy, remove the pot from the heat.
7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
