How To Make Garlic Butter Beef Pasta:

Step 1: Brown Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 tbsp butter. Add 1 lb ground beef, season with salt and pepper to taste, and brown the beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain fat, if needed.

Step 2: Add Aromatics and Seasonings: Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning.

Step 3: Cook Pasta: Add 2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup heavy cream, and 8 oz pasta (linguine or fettuccine), stirring to submerge the pasta in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a low simmer, then cover and cook on low until the pasta is tender and most liquid has absorbed, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes). Check every so often to make sure there is enough liquid. Add more chicken broth or water as needed if the pan looks dry.

Step 4: Finish and Serve: Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately with fresh chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
