In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 pound of ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sauté for about 6-8 minutes until the meat is browned and no longer pink. Ensure even cooking by stirring occasionally, then remove excess grease if needed.

Push the cooked beef to one side of the skillet and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and softened. Add in 3 minced garlic cloves and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow these seasonings to blend for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to release their flavors, and ensure they coat the meat and onions well.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter into the beef mixture before pouring in 3 cups of beef broth. Stir everything together, ensuring the flavors meld, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the broth to warm thoroughly.

Add 12 ounces of uncooked bowtie pasta directly into the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a rapid boil for about 1 minute, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 12-14 minutes. Check for doneness; the pasta should be tender and coated in sauce.

Once cooked, lower the heat and gently stir in 1 cup of half and half and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. This step brings the comforting essence of the Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta to life.

Taste the pasta and adjust seasonings if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes for heat. Remove from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta!
