Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Beef Pasta
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add your pasta (penne or fusilli) and cook according to the package instructions, about 8–10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook for about 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
- With the beef still in the skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the Greek yogurt and grated Parmesan cheese for about 2 minutes until smooth. Add in the diced tomatoes and mix thoroughly.
- Incorporate the drained pasta back into the skillet, tossing everything together until evenly coated. Heat for another 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer the creamy beef pasta to serving plates. Add extra grated Parmesan on top and serve.

Notes
Use lean ground beef for a healthier option and try to cook pasta al dente for the best texture.
