Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Brown the beef and onion in a large pot over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes total, then drain most of the fat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium, melt butter, cook garlic 30 seconds, then whisk in flour for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in warm broth and cream with Italian seasoning, and bring to a simmer.
  3. Add pasta, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 12 to 14 minutes until tender and sauce is creamy.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in Parmesan until melted, season with salt and pepper, and top with parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

The pasta will continue to soak up sauce as it sits, so it is creamiest right off the stove. If you need a moment, keep the pot covered and off the heat, then stir in a splash of broth just before serving to loosen it back up.
