Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Bowtie pasta (farfalle)
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, and season with salt and black pepper. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
Add the cooked bowtie pasta and ground beef back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat well in the Alfredo sauce.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delicious Beef and Bows Alfredo!
