Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 12 oz rotini pasta
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook rotini according to package instructions until al dente (about 9-11 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add ground beef, breaking it apart while cooking. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic; sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Make it Creamy: Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Stir well, bringing it to a gentle simmer before adding Parmesan and mozzarella, mixing until smooth.
  5. Combine Everything: Return cooked beef to the skillet along with drained rotini. Toss gently in the sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Serve Warm: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
