Creamy ground beef pasta recipe
Beef pasta is simply the decadent and indulgent version of spaghetti Bolognese or gnocchi Bolognese. The addition of cream and cheese takes this pasta recipe to a whole new world. The beef sauce is cooked down so it melts in the mouth and the pasta just soaks up all the delicious creamy sauce. Every bite is promised with a mouthful of ground beef, thanks to the type of pasta used. OK, I really need to tell you how to make this dish and stop talking about how good and simple it is. Beef pasta is super easy to make and it all comes together in about 30 minutes. It uses simple ingredients and is a perfect recipe for a busy weeknight.

Do you own an instant pot? Let me walk you through how to make ground beef pasta in an instant pot
If you own an instant pot, you can make this recipe as one pot as I did with this instant pot chicken pasta. You would cook the ground beef first just as you would on the stovetop. Add the pasta and tomato sauce, make sure you deglaze the bottom of the pressure cooker pot to avoid getting burn notice, and cook on high pressure for 5 to 6 minutes depending on the type of pasta used. Stir in the cream and cheese once the cooking cycle is complete. Related posts: creamy cajun pasta, Boursin pasta, and pink sauce pasta.
The best pasta for this recipe
Pasta shells (conchigliette or Conchiglie) all the way here, preferably the small ones. While other types of pasta or even noodles might work, pasta shells hold the creamy beef sauce perfectly unlike other shapes of pasta. In the meantime, cook pasta in salted water according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside, if you cooked the pasta before cooking the sauce, add about a tablespoon of oil to the pasta, this stops it from sticking together. Reserve about a cup of pasta water for later.
