1 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup beef broth
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Spaghetti

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Beef

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is fully browned and fragrant. Stir in Parmesan cheese, then remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring gently. Bring to a light simmer, then add Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss gently until evenly coated. Stir in the beef mixture and mix until fully combined and warmed through.

Step 5: Serve

Serve hot, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce and deeper flavor.
Avoid boiling the sauce; a gentle simmer keeps it creamy.
Reserve a bit of pasta water in case you need to loosen the sauce.

Easy Variations & Add-Ins

Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra depth.
Swap ground beef for ground chicken or turkey.
Add a splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Increase red pepper flakes if you enjoy more heat.

Storage & Reheating

Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheating: Reheat gently on the stove or microwave with a splash of milk or broth to restore creaminess.
