Creamy Beef and Shells: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Miya
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 8 ounces medium pasta shells
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Beef and Shells is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add medium pasta shells and cook until al dente, usually around 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Onion and Garlic: Once the beef is browned, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
5. Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to thicken slightly for about 5 minutes.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta shells to the beef mixture. Stir until all the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle in the shredded cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Italian herbs as desired.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.
