Ingredients

– 8 ounces of spaghetti or your favorite pasta
– 1 pound of ground beef
– 5 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter

Instructions

Making Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta is a breeze! Follow these simple steps to create an incredible meal:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally to break it apart, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Once the beef is nearly cooked through, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Incorporate Butter: Reduce heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Stir until melted and combined with the beef and garlic mixture.

5. Mix in Seasoning: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the garlic butter mixture. If the pasta looks dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

8. Serve: Transfer to serving plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

These simple steps will guide you to create a delightful Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta dish that is sure to impress.
