Creamy Ground Beef Alfredo Pasta Recipe

by

Instructions

    • Cook the pasta: Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.
    • Cook the ground beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
    • Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, sauté garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
    • Combine everything: Add the cooked pasta and ground beef to the sauce. Toss until coated, using reserved pasta water to adjust creaminess if needed.
    • Serve: Garnish with parsley or basil and extra Parmesan. Serve hot.

Notes

    • Use gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free option.
    • Swap ground beef for turkey, chicken, or Italian sausage for variety.
    • Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli for extra flavor and nutrients.
