- 1 pound (1 lb) ground beef
Main Starches:
- 1 pound (1 lb) fettuccine pasta
Dairy and Seasonings:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high temperature and brown the ground beef thoroughly, ensuring no pink remains. Eliminate excess grease by draining completely.

- Return skillet to medium heat and melt butter, introducing minced garlic. Sauté until aromatic and golden, releasing rich fragrance.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, whisking smoothly with Parmesan cheese until sauce transforms into a silky, uniform consistency without lumps.
- Gently fold cooked fettuccine into the creamy sauce, ensuring each pasta strand becomes luxuriously coated. Enhance flavors with precise salt and pepper seasoning.
- Transfer the decadent ground beef Alfredo to serving plates, creating an inviting presentation. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the top for vibrant color and herbaceous finish.
Notes
- Choose lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and create a healthier dish.
- Fresh garlic provides more robust flavor compared to pre-minced alternatives.
- Consider using whole wheat pasta for added nutritional value and fiber content.
- Add extra Parmesan cheese on top for more intense cheesy flavor just before serving.
