Creating Creamy High Protein Beef Pasta is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole grain pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
3. Add Garlic: Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Season: Stir in the onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and creamy.
7. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

With these simple steps, you’ll create a hearty dish that’s both comforting and satisfying.
