Cooking Instructions

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, add dried pasta, and boil until al dente. Reserve some pasta, then drain and set aside.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add chopped onions and saute until soft and translucent. Add chopped garlic and saute for 30 seconds, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn.
• Add ground beef, break it into the skillet, and brown the meat.
• Pour Rotel into the browned beef, add tomato paste, cajun seasoning salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
• Pour into the sauce the cream and pasta water (about half a cup) and stir to combine.
• Add grated parmesan cheese and stir to combine until fully melted in the Rotel beef sauce.
• Finally, add cooked pasta and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Add more pasta water if need be.
• Sprinkle chopped parsley on the pasta, take it off the heat and serve immediately.
