Description

This High Protein Creamy Beef Pasta recipe combines lean ground beef, whole grain pasta, and a rich, creamy sauce made with heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces whole grain pasta
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the whole grain pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic into the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onions have softened and become fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, then add Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Gradually incorporate the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet with the creamy beef sauce. Toss well so the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.
  7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning based on your preference.
  8. Remove from heat and garnish the dish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor experience.
