One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta
Directions
- 1Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain excess grease, reserving 1–2 tablespoons.
- 2Reduce heat to medium, add butter, then the chopped onion and sauté for 3–5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- 3Stir in pasta, ensuring it’s coated. Pour in 3 cups of water to cover the pasta by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until pasta is al dente.
- 4Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Thin with milk or reserved pasta water if needed.
