📝 Ingredients:
For the Bolognese Sauce:
1 lb ground beef 🥩
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped 🧅
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes 🍅
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano 🌿
1 teaspoon dried basil 🌿
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat) 🌶️
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Creamy Garlic Butter Spaghetti:
12 oz spaghetti 🍝
4 tablespoons unsalted butter 🧈
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) 🌿
Extra Parmesan cheese, for topping 🧀
👨🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Spaghetti:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente.
Drain the pasta, reserving a bit of pasta water, and set aside.
2️⃣ Make the Bolognese Sauce:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess grease if needed.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Season with oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
Let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.
3️⃣ Prepare the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce:
In a separate large pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often to prevent burning.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4️⃣ Toss the Spaghetti:
Add the cooked spaghetti to the garlic butter sauce and toss to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen.
5️⃣ Assemble and Serve:
Divide the creamy garlic butter spaghetti among serving plates.
Top each portion with the beef bolognese sauce.
Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley.
