Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 300g uncooked capellini
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 small onion, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 200g lean ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh basil
Instructions
- Cook the capellini according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain it, and return it to the pot to stay warm while you prepare the sauce. (Reserve a cup of pasta water in case you want to adjust the consistency later.)
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add in the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
- While stirring, slowly pour in the heavy cream. Add the parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the cheese melts into the sauce. Toss in the cooked pasta, stirring until everything is well combined and the pasta is coated in the creamy “carbonara” sauce.
- Serve it up with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and some fresh basil. Enjoy!
