  • 1.5 cups heavy cream The creaminess factor!
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened Adds richness and body.

Instructions
 

Cooking Process

  • Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add ground beef, cooking until browned while breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease if needed.
  • Stir in butter, onion, and shallot; cook until softened. Add garlic and spices, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in beef broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Add fettuccine, stirring frequently as it cooks until tender and most liquid is absorbed.
  • Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth.
