Ingredients
- 12 oz Bowtie pasta (farfalle)
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, and season with salt and black pepper. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Step 6
Add the cooked bowtie pasta and ground beef back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat well in the Alfredo sauce.
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious Beef and Bows Alfredo!
