  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of spaghetti or fettuccine pasta
– 1 pound ground beef
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta is a straightforward endeavor. Follow these simple steps to craft this stunning meal:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

3. Make Garlic Butter: Lower the heat slightly, then add the butter and allow it to melt in the skillet with the beef.

4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss the pasta with the beef and garlic butter until well coated.

6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and toss again until melted and combined well. Adjust seasoning if needed.

7. Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.

8. Serve: Plate the pasta immediately while it’s hot for the best flavor and texture.
