Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until bubbling gently. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.
  4. Once beef is browned, pour in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Then, add the cooked bowtie pasta and toss everything together for 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while stirring continuously. Then add 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until it melts.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Parmesan as needed. Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
