One-Pan Creamy Tomato Beef Pasta

Ingredients

• 12 oz tagliatelle or fettuccine (uncooked)
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp tomato sauce
• 2.5 cup beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp dried basil
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan (plus more for serving)
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the uncooked pasta, ground beef, onion, garlic, butter, tomato paste, and tomato sauce to a large deep skillet or sauté pan.

2. 2

   Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream.

3. 3

   Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Bring everything to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, breaking up the ground beef as it cooks.

5. 5

   Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 12–15 minutes, stirring every few minutes so the pasta cooks evenly and doesn’t stick.

6. 6

   Once the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened, stir in the Parmesan until melted and creamy.

7. 7

   If needed, add a splash of beef broth to loosen the sauce.

8. 8

   Top with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan, and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

If the sauce becomes too thick during the simmering process, add a splash of beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
