  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Brown the Beef

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 3: Add Garlic and Cream

Add minced garlic to the skillet with the cooked beef. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine.

Step 4: Incorporate Parmesan

Add grated Parmesan cheese to the creamy mixture. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 6: Season and Serve

Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
