3 lb
pasta of choice
1 lb
shallots, diced
2
garlic, minced
10 cloves
beef broth
14.5 oz
heavy cream
1 cup
spicy brown mustard
0.3 cup

crushed red pepper flakes
0.3 tsp

1 tbsp
Parmesan cheese
0.5 cup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. In a separate large pot or deep skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Drain off excess fat.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the black pepper, crushed red pepper, minced garlic, diced shallots, and spicy brown mustard to the beef. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until the shallots soften and the garlic is fragrant.

Pour in the beef broth and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the mixture simmer for 4 to 5 minutes so the flavors blend and the liquid reduces slightly.
