A delicious and comforting one pot meal featuring tender ground beef, garlic butter, and creamy pasta all cooked together for an easy and flavorful dinner.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 cups beef broth
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in beef broth and whole milk, then add uncooked penne pasta. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in unsalted butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta before serving.
