Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion turns translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Brown the Beef

Toss in the ground beef. Break it apart and cook until browned, roughly 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Broth

Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 5-10 minutes to mix those flavors.

Step 5: Incorporate Cream and Cheese

Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and blend until smooth. Add the shredded cheese and mix until it melts into creamy perfection.

Step 6: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet, coating it thoroughly with the creamy beef sauce. Heat for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7: Serve

Serve warm and top with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
