Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 12 oz fettuccine or pasta of your choice
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef: While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Combine Beef and Pasta: Add the cooked ground beef back into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss in the cooked pasta, making sure everything is well coated in the creamy sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, indulgent pasta dish!
