The Creamiest Pasta You'll Ever Make! 🔥 Beef & Mushroom Pasta

This is hands down the creamiest pasta you will ever make, and it comes together in one pan! Golden browned beef cooked with onions, garlic and sun dried tomatoes, folded through penne in a rich sauce made with cream, ricotta and parmesan, then topped with melted mozzarella and finished with fresh basil. Golden seared mushrooms bring a lovely savoury depth, and the sun dried tomatoes cut right through all that richness. Served with a crisp fresh salad in a wholegrain mustard dressing on the side. Comfort food at its absolute best, and far easier than it looks. 🍝 INGREDIENTS For the Pasta: - Oil — 1 tbsp - Ground beef — 500g - Butter — 1 tbsp - Oil — 1 tbsp (for the mushrooms) - Mushrooms — 250g - Salt — 1 tbsp - Pepper flakes — ½ tsp - Italian herbs — 1 tsp - Smoked paprika — 1 tsp - Black pepper — to taste - Onion — 1 medium - Garlic — 3 cloves - Tomato paste — 2 tbsp - Sun dried tomatoes — 60g - Penne pasta — 200g - Beef broth — 150ml - Cream — 150g - Ricotta cheese — 200g - Parmesan cheese — grated - Mozzarella cheese — grated - Olive oil — 2 tbsp - Fresh basil For the Salad: - Salad leaves - Cherry tomatoes - Cucumber - Red onion - Feta cheese - Olive oil — 2 tbsp - Wholegrain mustard — 1 tsp - Salt & pepper — to taste - Croutons ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Browning the beef 00:54 Cooking the mushrooms 02:50 Seasoning the beef 03:51 Onion and garlic 06:50 Tomato paste and sun dried tomatoes 07:49 Cooking the pasta 08:22 Building the creamy sauce 09:44 Ricotta and parmesan 11:17 Melting the mozzarella 11:42 Making the fresh salad 15:46 Plating and tasting 🛒 THE TOOLS I USE Chopping boards https://amzn.to/4xEDLDe https://amzn.to/4xMao2h Knives https://amzn.to/4hY9SZT https://amzn.to/45SyPyH https://amzn.to/4dct9TZ https://amzn.to/4wVMwYs https://amzn.to/4xt7AH1 Cooking pans https://amzn.to/4qQcBag https://amzn.to/4zJ9PY6 https://amzn.to/4gXXs34 Baking trays https://amzn.to/4gFoqv5 https://amzn.to/3V1EY9i Ceramic plates https://amzn.to/4qGOZo9 Camera and lenses I
