🍝 Bowtie Pasta with Ground Beef 🧀

A Hearty Classic to Bring Comfort to Your Table Any Day of the Week!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 12 oz bowtie farfalle pasta
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Start by cooking the bowtie pasta in a large pot of boiling water, following the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break it apart and cook until it's fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
4. Mix in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, paprika, salt, and pepper into the skillet with the beef. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow to cook for about 5-10 minutes.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Add the shredded cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it well to ensure it's fully coated in the creamy sauce. Let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
