Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs.
