Method
 

Preparing the Beef
  1. In a large pan, brown the ground beef with minced garlic, chili powder, onion powder, garlic salt, and black pepper over medium heat.
  2. Drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
Cooking Mushrooms and Combining
  1. In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms until softened and lightly golden.
  2. Return the browned beef to the pan and stir to combine.
Making the Sauce
  1. Pour in the chicken broth and add one cup of grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and forms a light creamy sauce.
  2. Simmer the mixture for a few minutes to let the flavors meld.
Combining Pasta with Sauce
  1. Cook the pappardelle pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions.
  2. Drain the pasta and add it directly to the beef and mushroom sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add dried oregano and garlic powder, stirring to combine.
  4. Garnish with extra parmesan and chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Leaner ground beef is recommended to prevent greasy sauce.
  • Reserve a small amount of pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
