Method
 

How to Make Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta
  1. Boil the bowtie pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain it well and set aside for later.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks until it’s no longer pink.
  3. Sauté the minced garlic in the skillet with the browned beef for one minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously, then gradually add the grated parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Toss the cooked bowtie pasta into the creamy sauce, coating it evenly.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra parmesan cheese on top if desired.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh garlic rather than jarred. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining, which can be added to the sauce if it becomes too thick.
