Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), heavy cream, beef broth, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika (if using) to the skillet.
Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet with the sauce.
Stir well to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy beef sauce.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
5. Serve:
Spoon the pasta into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad.
Tips:
Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Cheese Options: Use shredded mozzarella or Gruyère for a twist on flavor.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth to refresh the sauce.
Enjoy your Creamy Beef and Bowtie Pasta—a rich, comforting dish the whole family will love! 🍝
