A quick and delicious recipe for creamy garlic beef pasta that combines fettuccine, ground beef, and a rich creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.

- Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
- Add sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
