- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 4 cloves Garlic minced (12 g)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- Fresh Parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Once done, drain and set aside.
Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef
- While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 7-10 minutes, until browned and no longer pink. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
Step 4: Add the Cheese
- Stir in grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 5: Combine Everything
- Add the browned ground beef back to the skillet with the sauce, and then mix in the cooked pasta, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the dish, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy your creamy ground beef and alfredo pasta!
