Ingredients
Scale:
1 lb ground beef
8 oz egg noodles
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley (for garnishing)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnishing)
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Ensure to stir occasionally to avoid burning and drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until it becomes translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, ensuring that the garlic does not brown as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, incorporating any browned bits into the broth for extra flavor, which adds depth to the entire dish.
Add the egg noodles to the skillet. Ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the noodles are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid, which should thicken into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the heavy cream, frozen peas, soy sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, creating a rich and creamy texture.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld, enhancing the overall taste and aroma of the dish.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired, adding a fresh touch and extra flavor.
