Creamy Beef and Shells in Garlic Parmesan Sauce 🍝🧄

Ingredients
  

  • - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • - 12 ounces rotini pasta
  • - 1 pound ground beef
  • - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • - 4 cloves garlic minced
  • - 2 cups beef broth
  • - 1 cup heavy cream
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Begin by cooking the rotini pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheese has melted completely and the sauce is creamy.
  • Season the sauce with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, adjusting to your taste preference.
  • Add the drained rotini pasta to the skillet, tossing until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
