Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

To store leftovers, let the pasta cool completely, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water or cream to adjust consistency.
