Ingredients

  • Bowtie Pasta
  • Ground Beef
  • Fresh minced garlic
  • Unsalted butter
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
  2. Sauté the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Add Garlic: Once the beef is cooked through, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  4. Make the Sauce: Add the remaining butter to the skillet, letting it melt and combine with the beef and garlic. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.
  5. Combine Pasta and Cheese: Lower the heat and add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the garlic butter sauce. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with additional cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
