Ingredients
– 8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice
– 1 pound ground beef

Instructions
Making Garlic Parmesan Beef Pasta is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, and add the butter, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is heated through.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and thicken the sauce.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce and beef mixture.
7. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired before serving.
