Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups chicken broth 24 ounces
- 8 ounces cavatappi pasta
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated 50g, for garnish
- fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up as it browns, for 6 to 8 minutes or until no pink remains. Drain the excess grease and transfer the cooked beef to a plate. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring, until softened and fragrant — do not let it brown.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon mustard powder, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the beef is evenly coated in the seasonings.
- Pour in 3 cups (24 ounces) of chicken broth. Add 8 ounces of cavatappi pasta, pressing it down so it is fully submerged in the liquid. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the broth has been absorbed.
- Serve warm, garnished with ½ cup grated parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley.
