Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Once done, drain and set aside.
Browning Beef
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Season your beef with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well.
Adding Flavors
  1. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the ranch seasoning to the beef and mix until evenly coated.
  3. Stir in the corn kernels and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.
Creating Sauce
  1. Add butter and let it melt, then pour in heavy cream and beef broth. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
  2. Mix in the Parmesan and mozzarella until melted and the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the creamy sauce.
  2. Allow it to simmer for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
Serving
  1. Finish with parsley or green onions, and serve hot.
