# What You Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 oz tubular pasta
02 -
1 lb trimmed beef, cubed
03 -
1 small onion, diced small
04 -
2 cloves garlic, crushed
05 -
1 cup whole cream
06 -
1 cup meat stock
07 -
1 cup grated yellow cheese
08 -
1 tablespoon virgin oil
09 -
1 teaspoon red spice
10 -
Salt and pepper as needed
→ Garnish
11 -
Fresh green herbs, snipped
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Fill a big pot with salty water, bring it to bubbling point and toss in your pasta. Cook till slightly firm, drain the water and put aside.
02 -
Warm up the virgin oil in a wide pan on medium-high. Toss in your diced onion and crushed garlic, stir around till onions go soft and clear, roughly 3-4 minutes.
03 -
Drop the beef cubes into your pan, let them cook till they're brown all over and no pink remains, giving them a stir now and then.
04 -
Dust your meat with red spice, salt, and pepper, then mix everything well.
05 -
Add your meat stock and whole cream, giving it all a good mix. Let it come to a gentle bubble then turn down the heat.
06 -
Keep the mix bubbling softly for 10 minutes, stir it sometimes, and watch it get thicker.
07 -
Dump your cooked tubes into the pan and mix till every bit of pasta gets covered in the thick sauce.
08 -
Take the pan off the heat and mix in all that grated cheese till it's all melty and smooth.
09 -
Scatter green herbs on top and eat while it's hot.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Cut your beef chunks the same size so they'll all cook evenly.
02 -
Don't turn your pasta to mush - a bit of firmness works best with this dish.
