1. Cook the Ground Beef

In a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

2. Sauté the Aromatics

Add the butter to the skillet with the cooked beef. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes , or until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

3. Season the Mixture

Stir in the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute to allow the spices to bloom.

4. Add the Beef Broth and Pasta

Pour in the beef broth, then add the uncooked pasta directly to the skillet. Stir well to combine, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Simmer Until Tender

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the pasta simmer for 8–10 minutes , stirring occasionally. The pasta will absorb the broth as it cooks, creating a creamy sauce. If the mixture becomes too thick before the pasta is fully cooked, add a splash of water or additional broth.

6. Finish with Cheese (Optional)

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. This step adds an extra layer of creaminess to the dish.

7. Serve and Garnish

Divide the creamy beef and pasta among plates or bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately
