Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef
– 12 ounces pasta (e.g., penne or fusilli)
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
Creating One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta is simple and straightforward. Here’s how to do it:
1. Brown the Beef: In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the Pasta: Stir in the uncooked pasta, followed by the beef broth. Ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
4. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in the Cream: After the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, stir in the heavy cream and butter. Mix until the butter is melted and the sauce is creamy.
6. Add Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
These steps will guide you to create a creamy, flavorful dish that will delight your family and friends.
