Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

8 ounces bowtie pasta (farfalle)

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until softened. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

      Create the Sauce: Once the beef is browned, pour in the beef broth and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until creamy.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet along with the chopped spinach and Parmesan cheese. Gently toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the sauce and the spinach is wilted.

          Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning if desired.

            Serve: Spoon creamy beef and bowtie pasta into bowls or plates, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
