Easy Creamy Ground Beef Pasta

Step 1

Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.

Step 2

Add the onion and olive oil to a large skillet (or small pot/Dutch oven) and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add in the ground beef and garlic and continue cooking for another 8 minutes or so until the beef has browned (break the meat up with your spoon as you go along). Spoon out excess fat if there's a lot of it.

Step 4

Stir in the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced somewhat.

Step 5

Stir in the cream and cook for another 3-5 minutes (it'll warm through and reduce a bit).

Step 6

Season with salt & pepper as needed and toss with the drained pasta. Serve with parmesan cheese if desired.
