1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain any excess fat from the pan.

3. Add the Garlic: Stir the minced garlic into the cooked ground beef and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.

4. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

5. Combine the Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked penne to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the cheesy, garlic-infused sauce.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Creamy Cheesy Penne with Garlic Butter Ground Beef to a serving dish and garnish with additional shredded cheese or fresh herbs if desired. Serve the dish warm and savor every delicious bite!
