Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Remove excess grease if necessary.
Step 2: Sauté Garlic & Spinach
Add garlic to the beef and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
Step 3: Add Pasta & Liquids
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
Add uncooked pasta directly to the pot.
Step 4: Simmer Until Pasta is Tender
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened (usually 10–12 minutes).
Step 5: Finish with Cheese
Stir in Parmesan and cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 6: Serve & Garnish
Plate hot pasta with beef and spinach. Top with extra Parmesan, parsley, and a dash of cracked black pepper.🕒 Prep Time: 10 minutes
