The process couldn’t be easier. Brown the ground beef in a large pot to create a flavorful base, then melt in butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add pasta, broth, and seasonings, letting everything simmer until the pasta is tender and the liquid reduces into a rich sauce.
Finish with cream and freshly grated Parmesan, stirring until smooth and creamy. Toss in any vegetables at the end and garnish with fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish.
For the best texture and flavor, freshly grated Parmesan is worth the extra minute—it melts smoothly and adds real depth. You can also swap the beef for ground turkey, sausage, or a plant-based alternative.
Leftovers reheat beautifully; just add a splash of milk or cream to revive the sauce. Whether paired with garlic bread, a crisp salad, or enjoyed straight from the pot, this creamy garlic butter beef pasta is the kind of recipe you’ll come back to again and again.
