Step 4: Combine and Finish
- Add the cooked and seasoned ground beef to the cheese sauce, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer gently for 1–2 minutes so the flavours meld.
- Next, fold in the cooked bowtie pasta. Stir carefully to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the rich, creamy sauce. The sauce should cling to every piece without pooling excessively.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
- Serve the pasta hot, scooping generous portions into bowls or plates. For an optional finishing touch, top with chopped fresh parsley or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for extra richness.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavour: Add sautéed onions or bell peppers to the beef while cooking for a bit of sweetness and depth.
- Spice it up: Stir in a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the cheese sauce for a gentle kick.
- Bake it: Transfer the finished pasta to a baking dish, top with cheese, and bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15–20 minutes for a bubbly, golden top.
- Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
