Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 teaspoon olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 cup beef broth
- 8 ounce bowtie pasta, uncooked
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it’s nicely browned. Drain any excess fat, if needed.
2. Toss the minced garlic and chopped onion into the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and the garlic is fragrant.
3. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef with the flavorful seasoning blend.
4. Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the uncooked bowtie pasta, making sure the noodles are submerged in the liquid.
5. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the pasta cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the broth.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
7. Garnish the Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta with the chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot, ready to delight your family’s taste buds!
Notes
Adjust seasoning levels: Taste the dish as you go and adjust the salt, pepper, or other spices to suit your personal preferences.
Choose the right ground beef: For the best texture and flavor, opt for a leaner ground beef (such as 93% lean) to avoid excess greasiness.
Cook the pasta to al dente: Be mindful not to overcook the bowtie pasta, as you want it to retain a nice, toothsome bite.
Try different pasta shapes: While bowtie pasta is the classic choice, you can experiment with other shapes like penne, fusilli, or even egg noodles.
Add more vegetables: Feel free to incorporate sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrition and color.
