For the Beef Bowties
  • 8 oz bowtie pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef

Salt and pepper

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the bowtie pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain it and set aside.

  4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
  5. Step 5: Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet and toss everything together to coat the pasta in that luscious sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a beautiful finish. Enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to restore the sauce's creaminess.
