# Instructions:

Fill up a big pot with water, salt it, and let it boil. Toss in the penne, cook following the directions on the box, then drain and keep it aside.

Put a large pan over medium heat, add the ground beef, and cook until it's fully browned. Pour off any extra grease and set the meat aside for later.

Using the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and onions, letting them cook until the onions are soft and smell amazing for about 3-4 minutes.

Mix in the chili flakes (if you'd like) and Italian seasoning. Pour in the beef stock and heavy cream, whisk to combine, and let it cook for a few minutes until it gets slightly thicker.

Add the cooked beef back into the pan and give it a good stir to coat everything in sauce. Mix in the cooked pasta, making sure it's evenly coated.

Top it off with some grated Parmesan or a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you like, then serve it up while it's hot.
