Make the Sauce

  • Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of beef broth. Stir well to combine. Add 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

  • Gently fold the cooked bowtie pasta into the creamy sauce, ensuring every piece is coated. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan cheese and fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Pair with garlic bread or a light salad.
