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)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, mixing well. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
  • 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.
  • 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.
