Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp butter
8 oz fettuccine pasta
3 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Add butter and minced garlic to the beef. Cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
3. Pour in beef broth and add pasta. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer. Stir often.
4. Once pasta is nearly cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed, stir in heavy cream.
5. Let simmer until pasta is tender and sauce is thickened.
6. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, meltier finish.
Stir the pasta frequently while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
