  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 8 ounces large pasta shells
– 1/2 cup chopped onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Irresistible Creamy Beef and Shells is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to achieve delicious results:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta shells according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
4. Mix in Broth: Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
5. Incorporate Cream: Add in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
7. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta shells to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them evenly with the sauce.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and let the dish sit for a couple of minutes. This helps the sauce to cling to the pasta better.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
