Creamy Beef Pasta Skillet
Creamy Beef Pasta Skillet
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 – 4 cups uncooked pasta shells
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (12 oz – 300g) jar of salsa
- 8oz (225g) cream cheese (cubed)
- 1/2 cup (125ml) beef stock
- 1/2 cup grated or shredded cheese (parmesan, mozzarella…)
DIRECTIONS
1. To make the creamy beef pasta: Cook the pasta shells al dente according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat a little oil and brown the ground beef with black pepper over medium heat until brown.
3. Remove the excess grease from the cooked meat and then stir in the salsa and cream cheese. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce is well combined, adding beef stock progressively. Add cheese and stir constantly until melted and the sauce is smooth. Add more beef stock if necessary.
4. Gently toss your cooked pasta in with the meat sauce mixture and continue cooking on medium-low so the pasta can soak up a little of the sauce.
5. Remove the skillet for heat and sprinkle the creamy beef pasta with fresh chopped parsley and more cheese, if you like. Serve immediately. Enjoy! ❤️
