🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

- 12 oz fettuccine or pasta of your choice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Begin by cooking the pasta in a large pot according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and crumbly, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, and add the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy Alfredo sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
6. Serve the pasta garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
