  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces pasta (any kind you prefer)
– 1 pound ground beef (or lean beef)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup onion, diced
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating High Protein Creamy Beef Pasta is simple with these clear steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once boiling, add the 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, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Aromatics: Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Create the Sauce: Stir in the beef broth, and bring to a gentle boil. Then, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Incorporate Cheese and Season: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the creamy mixture, stirring until melted. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the creamy beef mixture. Gently toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.

7. Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color.

These straightforward steps make for an incredible dish that is sure to impress.
