Grate your own cheese for better melt and flavor
Let the pasta rest a few minutes before serving—it thickens perfectly

🧑🍳 Instructions
1. Brown the Beef:
In a large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
Add butter, garlic, and onion to the beef. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
3. Season:
Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
4. Add Liquids & Pasta:
Pour in the beef broth, milk, and heavy cream. Add the uncooked pasta and stir to combine.
5. Simmer & Stir:
Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low heat. Cover and simmer for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked and sauce has thickened.
6. Cheesy Finish:
Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
7. Serve:
Garnish with extra parmesan and chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot!
