# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
03 -
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Cook for an additional minute to blend flavors.
04 -
Add butter and let it melt. Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cook for 3–4 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
05 -
Prepare bowtie pasta according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside.
06 -
Stir half and half or whole milk into the reduced broth mixture. Add freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cook, stirring, until sauce is creamy and cheese is melted.
07 -
Adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
08 -
Add cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the creamy sauce. Stir to ensure thorough mixing.
09 -
Serve hot, garnished with finely chopped fresh parsley to enhance both color and flavor.
