Creating Creamy Beef and Bowtie Pasta is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Brown the Beef: Increase the heat to medium-high and add ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
4. Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Incorporate Cream and Broth: Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine, allowing the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add Cheese: Lower the heat to medium and mix in shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
7. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained bowtie pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
