Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)

12 oz rotini pasta

2 tbsp olive oil or butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup beef broth

1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Chopped parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook rotini pasta until al dente, drain, and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned. Drain excess fat, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pan.
Add olive oil or butter to the pan. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Stir in onion powder and optional red pepper flakes.
Pour in heavy cream and beef broth. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Reduce heat to low. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Return beef to the skillet. Add cooked rotini and toss to combine. Add pasta water if needed to loosen sauce.
Garnish with parsley or chives and serve hot.
