Tips
Use 96/4 ground beef. Spread it thinly on the sheet pan and season with salt. Cook under the broiler on high for 15 to 20 minutes. This technique helps to evenly cook the meat, saving you time and effort.
When making the sauce, use smoked paprika for a bolder flavor. It gives the sauce depth and elevates the overall dish. If you don't have smoked paprika, regular paprika will still work.
Add water to the cream mixture to prevent curdling or clumping when adding it to the hot sauce. This ensures the final dish is creamy and smooth.
Cook pasta for 60-90 seconds less than the recommended time to avoid overcooking it. Rince it to remove any foam.
