Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy One-Pot Tuscan Ground Beef Pasta
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and brown the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until no longer pink.
  2. Stir in minced garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the spinach wilts.
  3. Pour in the uncooked pasta along with your choice of broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cover and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to simmer for about 10–12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. After the pasta is tender, stir in the heavy cream and allow to simmer uncovered for another 2–3 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot and optionally garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and herbs.
