Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients

For the Pasta

  • 8 oz Penne Pasta Cook al dente

For the Meat

  • 1 lb Ground Beef Or ground turkey/chicken

For Flavor

  • 4 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 2 tablespoon Butter Can substitute with olive oil

For the Creaminess

  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Can mix in mozzarella

For Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs Optional

Instructions

How to Make Cheesy Penne

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the penne and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant and lightly golden.
  • Incorporate the ground beef into the pot, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the drained penne to the pot, gently stirring to combine with the beef mixture. Gradually sprinkle in the cheddar cheese, mixing until it melts and creates a creamy sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the Cheesy Penne warm, with a sprinkle of extra cheese or fresh herbs on top if you’d like.
