Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef, 80/20
  • 8 oz bow tie pasta
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1/2 cup milk, any kind you have
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and Italian seasoning; cook 1 minute.
  3. Pour in beef broth and diced tomatoes with juices. Bring to a boil, add bow tie pasta, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until pasta is tender, stirring once.
  4. Remove skillet from heat. Add cream cheese and let sit for a minute, then stir until melted. Stir in milk until smooth.
  5. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in bowls with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.

Notes

If the sauce thickens too much after sitting, add a splash of milk when reheating. The pasta continues to absorb liquid even off the heat, so serve it right away for the creamiest texture.
