Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 12 ounces bowtie pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the bowtie pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly. Drain.
  3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add onions and garlic, and sauté until soft.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, cubed Velveeta, and heavy cream. Heat until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Add paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Mix Pasta and Beef: Return the cooked pasta and beef to the skillet, stirring well to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving warm.

Notes

  • Cook the bowtie pasta al dente to keep it firm in the sauce.
  • Use Velveeta for a smooth melt, or experiment with cheddar for a sharper taste.
  • Add a splash of red wine to the beef as it cooks to boost flavor.
  • Sprinkle fresh basil or oregano with parsley for added freshness.
  • Add a spoonful of cream cheese for an even creamier texture.
