Ingredients Overview: The Heart of Italian Beef Pasta
Ready to make some magic? This Cheesy and Creamy Italian Beef Pasta is all about the quality of the ingredients. For the pasta, we're using spaghetti pasta, but feel free to swap in your favorite shape like rigatoni or rotini or penne – around one pound should do the trick. The star of the show, the beef, calls for about two pounds of chuck roast. This cut delivers incredible tenderness when slow-cooked, but sirloin is a leaner alternative if you're looking for a swap.
Spice it Up!
Don't forget those essential flavor boosters! You'll need salt, black pepper, and a blend of Italian seasoning to bring those classic Italian flavors. Plus, we're adding garlic powder and onion powder for depth and a bay leaf to bring additional aroma. Finally, we'll use olive oil and butter for searing the beef and building a rich, creamy sauce. With these simple but essential ingredients, you're all set to create an unforgettable meal!
