One-Pot Creamy Beef and Garlic Butter Pasta
🧄 Introduction
Some recipes are born out of culinary genius — others are born out of hunger, laziness, and the refusal to wash extra dishes. This pasta is all three.
Savory ground beef, golden garlic butter, silky cream, and tender pasta — all cooked in ONE POT! The flavors melt together into a rich, comforting hug of a dish. It’s the kind of meal that makes kids lick the plate, grown men weep, and mothers-in-law finally approve of you.
🍝 Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional but recommended)
- 2 cups beef broth or water + bouillon
- 2 cups milk or heavy cream (cream = richer, milk = lighter)
- 8 oz (230g) uncooked pasta (penne, rotini, elbows, shells — anything bite-sized)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional for color & warmth)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- ½ to 1 cup shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese
🔧 Instructions / Methods / Formation
- Brown the Beef
- Place a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart.
- Drain excess fat only if needed.
- Garlic Butter Magic
- Push the beef to one side.
- Add butter + onion + garlic to the empty side.
- Sauté until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes).
- Season the Universe
- Stir in Italian seasoning, paprika, salt & pepper.
- Liquid Gold
- Pour in broth + milk/cream. Stir.
- Add uncooked pasta directly into the pot.
- Simmer & Fall in Love
- Cover and cook on medium-low for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Cheesy Finale
- Once pasta is tender and sauce thickens, turn off heat.
- Stir in cheese until creamy and glossy.
- Rest for 2 Minutes (if you can resist) — the sauce thickens beautifully as it sits.
