Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Beef Spaghetti
  • 8 oz spaghetti a classic pasta choice that holds up well to the creamy sauce
  • 1 lb ground beef adds a hearty protein to keep you full
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter for a rich, buttery base
  • 1 cup heavy cream makes the sauce luxuriously creamy
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese adds a delicious cheesy flavor
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once done, drain it and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it’s fragrant, about a minute.
  3. Step 3: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Step 5: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the creamy sauce.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce if needed.
