Before we begin, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need for this delicious ground beef pasta:<\/p>\n
– 1 pound of ground beef
\n– 8 ounces of pasta (such as fettuccine or penne)
\n– 4 tablespoons of butter
\n– 2 garlic cloves, minced
\n– 1 cup of heavy cream
\n– 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
\n– Salt and pepper, to taste
\n– Fresh parsley, optional for garnish<\/p>\n
Now that we have all the ingredients ready, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your own masterpiece:<\/p>\n
Step 1: Cook the ground beef until browned and set it aside.
\nStart by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until nicely browned, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Once cooked, transfer the beef to a plate or bowl and set it aside for now.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Boil water and cook the pasta according to package instructions.
\nWhile the beef is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it until al dente, following the instructions on the package. Once cooked to perfection, drain the pasta and set it aside.<\/p>\n
Step 3: In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat and saut\u00e9 minced garlic.
\nIn another large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saut\u00e9 it until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Add heavy cream to the pan and simmer until it thickens.
\nOnce the garlic is fragrant, pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for a few minutes until the cream starts to thicken slightly. This will create a luscious and velvety base for the sauce.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
\nNext, add the grated Parmesan cheese to the pan, stirring it into the cream sauce until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavors of the sauce.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Return the cooked beef to the pan and mix well.
\nOnce the sauce is nice and creamy, add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet. Mix it well with the sauce, ensuring that every morsel of beef gets coated in the rich, velvety goodness.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss until well coated.
\nNow, it’s time to bring it all together! Add the cooked pasta into the skillet with the beef and sauce. Toss everything together gently, making sure the pasta is well coated with the creamy Alfredo sauce.<\/p>\n
Step 8: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
\nFor a final touch of freshness and vibrant color, garnish your dish with some freshly chopped parsley. It will not only add a burst of flavor but also make your dish look beautiful and inviting.<\/p>\n
