Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Method
 

  1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, mixing well. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
  6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.

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.
