Beef Garlic Parmesan Pasta with Spinach and Mushrooms

That sounds delicious! Here’s a recipe for Beef Garlic Parmesan Pasta with Spinach and Mushrooms:

Ingredients:

• 8 oz pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or your choice)
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
• Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:

   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta according to package instructions, then drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

2. Cook the Beef:

   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

3. Sauté Garlic and Mushrooms:

   • In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they’re tender and browned, about 4-5 minutes.

4. Add Spinach:

   • Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

5. Make the Sauce:

   • Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
   • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the sauce. Add reserved pasta water to reach your desired sauce consistency.

6. Combine Everything:

   • Add the cooked beef back into the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce and veggies.
   • Toss in the cooked pasta and stir until everything is well coated.

7. Serve:

   • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
   • Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley or basil, and serve immediately.
