Print Recipe

A quick, filling, and protein-packed pasta dish with ground beef, creamy sauce, and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream (or Greek yogurt) along with the shredded cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for heavy cream and add vegetables for extra nutrition.
