# Instructions:
01 -
Follow the directions on the package to boil pasta in salted water. Once done, drain it and set aside.
02 -
Melt butter in a big pan over medium to high heat. Toss in the garlic and cook for about a minute until it smells amazing.
03 -
Drop the minced beef into the pan and crumble it as it cooks until browned. If there's any extra fat, drain it.
04 -
Mix in the Italian herbs, onion powder, a pinch of salt, black pepper, and chili flakes if you'd like. Stir it all together.
05 -
Pour the beef broth and heavy cream into the pan. Turn the heat down to low and let it gently bubble for 3–4 minutes while stirring now and then.
06 -
Lower the heat and add both mozzarella and Parmesan. Stir until it all turns gooey and silky.
07 -
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the cheesy sauce. Mix well so the pasta is coated evenly.
08 -
Sprinkle parsley over the top and serve it up while it's warm.
