Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

8 ounces large pasta shells

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta shells according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Meat: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant (about 2-3 minutes). Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

      Make the Sauce: Once the beef is cooked, add the beef broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it gently cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

        Combine: Lower the heat and add the cooked pasta shells to the skillet. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined, making sure the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce.

          Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy your Easy Creamy Beef and Pasta Shells!
