Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup medium onion diced
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups bowtie pasta, farfalle dry measurement
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- fresh parsley Garnish: fresh parsley and more cheese optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the diced onions and minced garlic over medium heat until no longer pink. Constantly stir to break up the beef into a crumble. Then, season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Stir in the beef broth and heavy whipping cream, and add the bowtie pasta. Bring it to a boil and then lower the heat to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet and simmer the pasta for 10-12 minutes until done, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, and until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Now, reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until just combined and serve warm. Optional: garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra cheese. Enjoy!
