Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until it’s browned, breaking the meat into crumbles. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant. Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts down.
Cooking
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Directly add the uncooked pasta into the pot.
- Increase the heat to bring it to a gentle boil. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust your seasoning with extra salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Plate the hot pasta with the beef and spinach abundance on top. Garnish with extra Parmesan, fresh parsley, and a sprinkle of cracked black pepper for that finishing touch.
