Ingredients for Garlic Beef Pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions for Garlic Beef Pasta
Melt the Butter
Place a large skillet on the stove over medium heat and melt the butter.
Cook the Ground Beef
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any extra grease if needed.
Add the Garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until it becomes fragrant.
Add the Seasonings
Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well so the beef is evenly coated with the spices.
Add the Liquid and Pasta
Pour in the Beef broth and heavy cream. Add the pasta and stir so the pasta is mostly covered with the liquid.
Simmer the Pasta
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce begins to thicken.
Add More Liquid if Needed
If the pasta starts to stick or the sauce gets too thick, add a small splash of chicken broth or water.
Add the Parmesan
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve
Serve warm and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desire
