The finished dish — looks amazing, right?

Anyway, let’s dive into this masterpiece…

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, picture this: you’re in the grocery store, and you need some essentials for this dish. Grab yourself 8 oz of bowtie pasta (it’s gotta be bowties, trust me, they’re so cute). Then, 1 lb of ground beef—the juicier, the better.

Don’t forget 4 cloves of garlic (minced, of course). I have a love affair with garlic, so I’m all about that life. Next up, 1 cup heavy cream (because life’s too short for low-fat), a cup of beef broth (for that rich flavor), and a bunch of cheeses because, duh—1 cup mozzarella, 1 cup Parmesan, and 8 oz Velveeta (I know, it sounds weird, but just trust me, it makes it extra creamy).

Oh! And we need some olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley to make it pretty.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, quick story time! The first time I made this, it was a random Tuesday, and I was feeling all kinds of chaotic (as usual). I opened my fridge, and let me tell ya, I had a half-eaten block of Velveeta just staring at me like, “Use me!” So, I threw together this concoction with beef and bowties. My kitchen was a mess—pasta water boiling over, little bits of cheese flying everywhere—but when I took that first bite, I was like, “Whoa, where have you been all my life?”

My roommate walked in as I was devouring it, and I honestly had to shove a bowl in her hands before she could say anything. Now, it’s become the go-to for when I need a hug in a bowl. Seriously, it’s that good!

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, listen up! The magic happens when you add that cheese. Like, don’t just toss them in there and walk away. You gotta stir and let them melt into that luscious sauce. It’s like a cheesy hug for your pasta, and it’s what takes this from “meh” to “OH MY GOSH, I NEED THIS EVERY DAY!”

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t overcook the pasta! Nobody likes mushy noodles. Al dente is the way to go.
2. Watch the garlic! Seriously, it burns quick. Once you smell it—like, really smell it—you’re on the right track.
3. Taste as you go! Add a little salt, stir, taste—repeat until it’s perfect. You’re the boss of this dish.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, leftovers? If you manage to have any (and that’s a BIG if), just pop it in an airtight container and stick it in the fridge. It’ll be good for like, 3 days max. Just reheat it gently on the stove with a splash of cream or broth to keep it from drying out. You can thank me later.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too
