In a large skillet or deep pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat.
Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add onion and garlic, sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Add liquids and pasta:
Pour in beef broth and milk (or cream). Stir in pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most liquid is absorbed.
Finish the sauce:
Stir in remaining 1 tbsp butter and grated Parmesan until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve:
Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness!
💡 Tips:
For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Use half-and-half instead of milk for an even creamier sauce.
You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
If you like, I can also give a cheesy version with gooey mozzarella that turns this into a true comfort-food pasta bake—all in one pot. Do you want me to do that?
