## Ingredients

- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz small pasta shapes (e.g., penne, fusilli, or ziti)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes

## Instructions

1. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces. Drain excess grease, reserving 1–2 tablespoons.
2. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, then the chopped onion and sauté for 3–5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.

4. Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Thin with milk or reserved pasta water if needed.
