Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 3 cups (24 ounces / 720 g) chicken broth
- 2 cups (476 g) heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes, or more or less to taste
- 16 ounces cavatappi pasta, uncooked
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Parmesan cheese, finely grated, for garnish
Instructions
- To a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, add the ground beef. Cook for 6–8 minutes, or until fully browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. If needed, drain excess grease.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomato paste, chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Stir in the uncooked cavatappi pasta, making sure it's fully submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and parmesan. Serve hot.
