Beef Rotini Garlic Parmesan Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 12 oz rotini pasta
02 - 1 lb beef (sirloin or ground), cubed or crumbled
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 cup heavy cream
05 - 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
06 - 2 tbsp butter
07 - 1 tbsp olive oil
08 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
09 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rotini until al dente, about 8–9 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add beef, season with salt and pepper, and brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
04 - Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer.
05 - Add parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until melted and smooth. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time.
06 - Return beef to the skillet. Add cooked rotini and toss until fully coated and heated through.
07 - Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra parmesan. Serve hot.
