The cooking process is just as easy as the ingredients list. Start by browning the ground beef in a large pot to build that deep, savory base, then melt in butter and stir in garlic until fragrant. Next, add the pasta, broth, and seasonings, letting everything simmer together until the pasta is tender and the liquid reduces. Once it’s ready, stir in cream and freshly grated Parmesan to create that creamy, buttery sauce that coats every bite perfectly. If you’re adding vegetables, this is the moment to toss them in, then finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a little brightness.
For the smoothest sauce and best flavor, freshly grated Parmesan is always worth it because it melts better than pre-shredded cheese. You can also switch up the protein with turkey, sausage, or even a plant-based option depending on your preference. Leftovers keep well for up to three days—just reheat gently and add a small splash of milk or cream to bring the sauce back to life. Whether you serve it with garlic bread, a fresh salad, or enjoy it straight from the bowl, this one-pot creamy garlic butter beef pasta is the kind of meal that quickly becomes a repeat favorite.
