Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta
   • Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente.
   • Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
2. Cook the Beef
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
   • Add onion and sauté until softened.
   • Stir in garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce
   • Reduce heat to low and pour in heavy cream, stirring well.
   • Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
   • If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
4. Combine Pasta & Sauce
   • Toss cooked bowtie pasta into the beef cream sauce until evenly coated.
   • Cook 1–2 minutes for the flavors to meld.
5. Serve
   • Plate the pasta, garnish with chopped parsley or extra Parmesan, and serve warm.

Tips

• For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes while cooking.
• You can add steamed broccoli or spinach for a veggie boost.
• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2–3 days; reheat gently to maintain creaminess.
