Instructions:
Cook the Ground Beef:
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through.
-
Drain excess fat if needed and set the beef aside.
Sauté the Aromatics:
-
In the same pot, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat.
-
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until softened and fragrant—about 2-3 minutes.
Add Broth and Pasta:
-
Pour in the beef broth, then add the pasta.
-
Stir to combine, ensuring the pasta is fully submerged in the liquid.
-
Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
Simmer:
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
-
Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente and most of the liquid has absorbed.
-
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Make it Creamy:
-
Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Parmesan cheese.
-
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
Combine the Beef:
-
Return the cooked ground beef to the pot and stir until well combined.
-
Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder as needed.
Serve:
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your creamy, savory one-pot beef and garlic butter pasta!
Comfort food at its finest!
