Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta
- Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water over high heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the bowtie pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 10–12 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet. Break apart the beef and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned. Stir occasionally and drain any excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce along with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute to combine flavors.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and toss gently until well coated.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of beef broth or water (about 2–3 tablespoons) to adjust the consistency.
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
