Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)

The ground beef forms the savory base, while the cheese and cream create a creamy sauce that perfectly complements the pasta. The spices give the dish extra depth and a subtle heat, while the mozzarella adds a gooey, comforting finish. Fresh parsley brings a pop of color and freshness when served.
