Creamy Beef and Elbows Batch 2 instructions

1. Cook the pasta as directed on package. Reserve 1 cup pasta water in case needed for thickening. Add parsley to pasta when removed from water, and toss..
2. Dice the onion and slice the celery. Heat a deep pan and add the ground beef, onion, and celery. Sauté add in the spices. Sauté till celery is tender, onion is translucent, and beef is browned..
3. Add the flour to the beef and vegetables. Stir and allow to cook for 8 minutes. Add the beef broth. Stir often till the broth thickens. If too thick or to thin use the pasta water. Add salt to taste, and pepper, do this after the pasta water if needed because it will be a little salty..
4. When the gravy is where you like it on thickness add the pasta. Stir in gently. Coating all the elbows. Taste, adjust salt if needed. Add peas stir in gently but well. Cover and allow to rest 8 minutes. Serve, I hope you enjoy!!!! The bread is the olive oil bread I made the other day, the first one I ever braided..

I add table cream (Nestle's all-purpose cream) to finish off the gravy but feel free to swap with sour. Creamy Beef and Shells is a pasta dish that is perfect for a quick dinner for the whole family! It is rich, flavorful, and cheesy and even kids love it! You can choose from penne, elbow macaroni, or rotini as a substitute for the shells. To prevent the pasta from being soggy, you can cook it just al dente so that.
