Instructions
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Gradually stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat well with the sauce. If needed, adjust seasonings and add more cheese for extra creaminess.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, additional cheese, or crispy bacon bits if desired. Enjoy your Loaded Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta Ultimate Creamy!
