Instructions
Making Beef and Rotini in Garlic Parmesan Sauce is straightforward. Follow these steps to create this delightful dish:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Drain Excess Fat: If there’s any excess fat in the skillet, drain it carefully.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously to blend with the meat.
6. Add Seasonings: Mix in the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it fully melts and combines into a creamy sauce.
8. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked rotini to the skillet. Toss to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
10. Serve: Transfer to serving plates, ensuring each portion has a good amount of meat and sauce.
