Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Brown the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and gently toss until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy Alfredo sauce and ground beef.
- Serve: Divide the pasta among plates and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Notes
- Cook the fettuccine just until al dente for the best texture.
- Drain excess fat from the ground beef if needed before adding the cream.
- Keep the heat low when adding the Parmesan to help create a smooth sauce.
