This Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta is a comforting one-pan meal featuring tender ground beef, bowtie pasta, and a rich, cheesy garlic-Parmesan sauce. Perfect for cozy dinners or easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz bowtie (farfalle) pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and set beef aside.
  3. In the same skillet, heat olive oil or butter and sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and broth. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return beef to skillet and add cooked pasta. Toss everything to coat. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen sauce.
  6. Top with extra Parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or sausage for the beef.
  • Add veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Use other pasta types like penne or rotini.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
  • Broil with mozzarella for a baked pasta variation.
