Ingredients
- 350 g (12 oz) pasta (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti work well)
- 300 g (10 oz) beef (sirloin, flank steak, or ground beef)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4–5 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika or chili flakes (optional, for mild heat)
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or dried oregano)
- ½ cup reserved pasta cooking water
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente—tender but still slightly firm to the bite.
Before draining, reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
