Cooking

  • Saute. Melt the butter over medium heat and cook the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Simmer. Add the broth, scrape the pan, and simmer 2 minutes, then stir in the cream, cheeses, and seasonings until thick.
  • Combine. Return the beef, add the pasta, and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until coated.
  • Serve. Garnish with parsley and Parmesan and serve hot.
