Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned.

Drain excess fat, lower heat to medium, and add 1 finely chopped onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika. Cook for 1 minute to deepen flavors.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter, mixing until fully melted. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes.

Stir in 1 cup of half and half and 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese until combined. Cook over low heat until creamy.

In a separate pot, boil salted water and cook 12 ounces of bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and gently mix it into the creamy sauce in your skillet, coating evenly. Adjust consistency with more beef broth if needed.

Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and herbs if desired. Enjoy the comforting aromas!
