This Creamy Parmesan Garlic Beef Bowtie Pasta offers a rich, indulgent experience with a satisfying savory kick from seasoned ground beef and a lusciously smooth Parmesan sauce. Bowtie pasta, or farfalle, adds visual appeal and a great bite to soak up every drop of that creamy goodness.
What makes this dish especially weeknight-friendly is its simplicity. With pantry staples like pasta, garlic, and cream, plus a touch of Italian seasoning, it comes together quickly without sacrificing flavor. Ground beef lends hearty substance, while the garlic and Parmesan cheese create an irresistible sauce that feels both luxurious and approachable.
It’s the kind of meal that satisfies everyone at the table—perfect for feeding a hungry family or prepping a cozy dinner for guests. The heat from optional red pepper flakes offers a subtle kick, and a splash of white wine can elevate the entire sauce with just a touch of acidity and depth.
