For the Pasta
  • 8 oz Bowtie Pasta Feel free to swap with penne or fusilli for variety.
For the Beef

For the Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic will give the best taste.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Freshly grated cheese melts seamlessly into the sauce.
  • 2 tbsp Butter Swap with olive oil if you're watching your saturated fat intake.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce You can omit this if you prefer a milder sauce.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup of heavy cream, and 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to low and mix until the cheese has melted.
  5. Add the drained bowtie pasta to the skillet with the creamy beef mixture. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  6. Season the pasta with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of warm water or broth.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
