Ingredients

– 8 ounces of pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your favorite type)
– 1 pound of lean ground beef
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating this High Protein Creamy Beef Pasta can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

4. Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.

5. Add Liquid: Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet. Allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes.

6. Create the Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer.

7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

8. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce.

9. Heat Through: Let everything cook together for another minute to ensure the pasta is heated through.

10. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your dish warm.

These steps guide you in effortlessly preparing this delightful pasta dish, ensuring a rich and creamy experience.
