Description
A rich and comforting creamy beef and shell pasta dish, perfect for satisfying meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces shell pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, leaving a bit of flavorful residue in the pan.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened; the onions should turn translucent at the edges.
- Stir in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
- Add the shell pasta and reduce heat; simmer until pasta is tender, around 7-10 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and cheddar cheese until melted and creamy; the mixture should thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh touch.
Notes
Incorporate heavy cream off the heat to maintain creaminess. Use ground turkey for a healthier alternative.
