Preparation:

Step 1: Cook the Rotini Pasta

Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 9-11 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water, and set it aside.

Step 2: Brown the Ground Beef

While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet with the cooked beef, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 30 seconds to allow the spices to bloom.

Step 4: Add the Heavy Cream and Cheese

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic butter mixture. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Next, stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 5: Combine the Pasta and Beef Sauce

Add the cooked rotini to the skillet with the cheesy garlic butter beef sauce. Toss everything together, making sure the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

Step 6: Serve and Garnish

Once everything is combined and heated through, transfer the cheesy rotini to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
