Description
Extra creamy, wildly delicious, and super easy is this one-pot creamy beef pasta. This dish is packed with ample flavor and two different kinds of cheeses…so comforting and weeknight friendly!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 lb ground beef (I use grass-fed)
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 1 lb dried short-cut pasta (I use rigatoni)
- 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken or beef broth
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
Instructions
- In a large stock pot or dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add in the ground beef and use a wooden utensil to break the beef into crumbles. Cook until browned completely, about 6-7 minutes. Then season the beef with salt/pepper- to taste, and garlic powder.
- Next, add in the shallot, stir together, and continue cooking along with the beef for another 4-5 minutes.
- Add in the dried pasta and broth. Stir to fully incorporate and place a lid on the pot and allow the pasta to cook through, about 10-12 minutes or until pasta is fully cooked, al dente.
- Turn off the heat and pour in the cream and both cheeses, stir to fully combine. Let the pasta sit, covered, for at least 10 minutes to allow the sauce and flavors to meld. Then serve and enjoy!
