Ingredients

Scale
  • 450g ground beef
  • 340g bowtie pasta (farfalle)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  • 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook bowtie pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, drain pasta, and set aside.
  • 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • 3. Push beef to one side, add butter and garlic to the other side. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • 4. Pour in heavy cream, stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
  • 5. Add cooked pasta to the skillet, toss to coat with sauce. Add reserved pasta water as needed for desired creaminess. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Add corn or spinach for extra flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
