🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need:


🍝 For the Pasta:


1 lb ground beef


1 lb penne pasta


1 small onion, chopped


2 cloves garlic, minced


1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes


1/2 cup beef broth


1 tbsp tomato paste


1 tsp dried basil


1 tsp dried oregano


1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)


Salt and black pepper to taste



🧀 For the Cheese Sauce:


2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese


1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


1 cup heavy cream


2 tbsp unsalted butter


1 tbsp all-purpose flour



🌿 For Garnish (Optional):


Chopped fresh parsley


Extra Parmesan cheese






👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:


✅ Step 1: Cook the Pasta


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook 8–10 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.


✅ Step 2: Cook the Beef


In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat for about 5–7 minutes. Drain the excess fat.

Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).


✅ Step 3: Make the Tomato Sauce


Add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, tomato paste, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes (optional), salt, and pepper. Simmer on low for 10 minutes to develop flavor.


✅ Step 4: Prepare the Cheese Sauce


In a separate saucepan, melt butter. Whisk in flour to make a roux (about 1 minute).

Gradually pour in heavy cream while whisking. Cook until slightly thickened (2–3 minutes).

Add mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy.


✅ Step 5: Combine Everything


Add the cooked pasta into the beef-tomato sauce and mix well.

Pour in the cheese sauce and stir until every bite is creamy, cheesy, and fully coated. Cook for 2–3 minutes more.


✅ Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!


Spoon into bowls and top with parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

Serve hot with garlic bread or a fresh salad for a full meal.





💡 Recipe Tips & Variations:


Use Italian sausage instead of ground beef for extra flavor.


Want it spicy? Add crushed chili flakes or hot sauce.


Make it ahead and bake it later – just top with more cheese and reheat!


Great for meal prep – stores well in the fridge up to 3 days.
