🍳 Instructions:
Preparation:
Step 1: 🔥 Brown the Beef
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it’s browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove excess fat if necessary.
Step 2: 🧄 Sauté Onions and Garlic
Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 3: 🌿 Season the Beef
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine and cook for another minute to let the flavors meld.
Step 4: 🍝 Cook the Pasta
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package directions (usually 10-12 minutes) until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed some of the liquid.
Step 5: 🧈 Make it Creamy
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter, half and half, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 6: 🌿 Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
