Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
12 ounces uncooked spaghetti pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary, then add minced garlic to the beef and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
Add the uncooked spaghetti pasta to the pot, pressing it down gently to submerge in the broth.
Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
Stir in the unsalted butter, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until the butter is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and parsley if desired.
