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, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  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 spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  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, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pasta is heated through.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the skillet for extra flavor and nutrition. Sauté them with the garlic before adding the beef.
