🍝 Creamy Beef and Bowtie Pasta – A Cozy One-Pot Comfort Meal! 🧀
Rich, cheesy, and packed with savory beef, this dish is the ultimate family favorite. Quick enough for a weeknight, satisfying enough for seconds!
🧾 Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups bowtie pasta (farfalle)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Brown the beef:
In a large skillet or deep pan, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper. Once browned, drain any excess fat.
Add aromatics:
Stir in the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Build the sauce:
Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a light simmer.
Cook the pasta:
Add the bowtie pasta straight into the sauce. Cover and let cook on medium-low heat for about 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.
Get cheesy:
Turn off the heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
Serve it up:
Let sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly, then serve warm with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan, if desired.
🔄 Tips & Variations:
Swap in ground turkey or sausage for a twist.
Add steamed broccoli or spinach for extra veg.
Want it spicier? Stir in red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
