Author's Notes

Yields 4-5 servings.

Let it cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container before putting it in the fridge. Consume it within 3 to 4 days. Keep in mind that once chilled, the pasta will absorb more sauce. Therefore, when reheating add a bit more heavy cream or beef broth.

Cooking Instructions

step 1
Heat Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Ground Beef (1 lb) and cook for about 3 minutes, crumbling as it cooks.
step 2
Add Yellow Onion (1) and continue to cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 3 minutes.
step 3
Stir in Garlic (2 cloves) and Italian Seasoning (1 tsp). Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
step 4
Whisk in Beef Broth (3 cups) and Tomato Sauce (1 can). Bring to a boil.
step 5
Stir in Baby Pasta Shells (8 oz). Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir occasionally until pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly for 10-12 minutes.
step 6
Remove from heat. Stir in Heavy Cream (1/2 cup). Season with Salt (to taste) and Cracked Black Pepper (to taste).
step 7
Stir in Shredded White Cheddar Cheese (2 cups) until melted, about 2 minutes.
step 8
Sprinkle with Fresh Parsley (to taste), if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
