Description

Beef and Potato Skillet with Creamy Pasta is a hearty one-pan meal that combines tender beef, golden potatoes, and creamy pasta for a satisfying and comforting dinner.


Ingredients

  • beef cubes
  • potatoes, diced
  • pasta (penne or rotini)
  • heavy cream
  • Parmesan cheese
  • garlic
  • olive oil
  • onion
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta; set aside.
  2. Sauté potatoes in olive oil until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, cook beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, cook until fragrant.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan. Add pasta and potatoes, tossing to coat.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use sweet potatoes for a different flavor.
  • Add spinach or peas for extra veggies.
  • Swap beef for chicken or sausage for variation.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk.
  • Ground beef works well as a substitute for beef cubes.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pasta.
  • Add bell peppers or mushrooms for more veggie options.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • To bake, transfer to a baking dish, top with cheese, and bake until golden.
  • This dish is best eaten fresh, as cream sauces can separate when frozen.
  • Thyme or rosemary pairs nicely with the flavors in this dish.
  • If you have leftover roast beef, add it at the end to heat through.
  • To keep potatoes crispy, pan-fry them until golden before adding to the sauce.
  • Short pasta like penne or rotini works best for this dish.
