Ingredients
- 12 oz bowtie pasta (farfalle)
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably 85/15)
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in Alfredo sauce, add heavy cream, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and let it simmer gently for 3–4 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
