  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz penne pasta (or your choice of pasta)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Gradually add the shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit more beef broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated in the creamy sauce.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with diced tomatoes and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Additional Tips: For a lighter version, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef, and low-fat dairy options for the sauce.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Freezer-Friendly: This dish can be frozen, but the texture may change slightly upon reheating. It’s best to freeze before adding the pasta and sauce together.
