Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Beef Pasta
  1. Cook the Pasta by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and adding your choice of pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Brown the Beef in a large skillet over medium heat, cooking the lean ground beef for about 5–7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
