Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 8 oz / 225 g bowtie pasta
Beef Alfredo Sauce
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 oz / 115 g cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the bowtie pasta according to the package directions until tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Cooking
  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef, garlic, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
  3. Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese and heavy cream. Stir until the cream cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted into the sauce.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and toss well so the bowties are evenly covered with the creamy beef sauce.
Serving

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of cream if the sauce needs loosening.
