Beef and Rotini in Garlic Parmesan Sauce is a creamy, comforting one-pan pasta dish featuring tender beef, rotini pasta, and a rich garlic-Parmesan sauce. Perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy family meals.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 lb beef (sirloin, stew meat, or ground beef)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook rotini in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add beef, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic until soft and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
  4. Pour in beef broth and heavy cream. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly reduced.
  5. Stir in Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
  6. Return cooked beef to the skillet, then add the rotini. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated and heated through.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ground beef for a faster option.
  • Add spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli for extra veggies.
  • Penne or fusilli can be used instead of rotini.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for added depth.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; add milk or broth when reheating to loosen the sauce.
