✅️ 5 Tips for Perfect Creamy Beef Pasta
1. 👉 Use freshly grated cheese — it melts smoother and makes the sauce extra creamy.
2. 👉 Don’t overcook the pasta; slightly firm pasta holds up better in the sauce.
3. 👉 For deeper flavor, deglaze the pan with a splash of beef broth after browning the meat to lift all the tasty bits.
4. 👉 Want it extra rich? Add a tablespoon of butter right before serving.
5. 👉 Make it your own: Try adding mushrooms, spinach, or a pinch of chili flakes for a flavor twist!
