Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 medium onion, chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup rotini pasta
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tsp dried basil
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. Brown the beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
3. Soften the onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Make the sauce: Pour in the beef broth, heavy cream, and dried herbs. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Let cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
5. Add Parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine pasta and sauce: Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat with the garlic Parmesan sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water.
7. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
