Creating High Protein Creamy Beef Pasta can be simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a pot of salted water. Add the whole grain pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce, stirring continuously until it melts and creates a creamy consistency.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta into the skillet, tossing until fully coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
7. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more beef broth to achieve your desired creaminess.
8. Serve: Once everything is heated through, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
