Creamy Italian Pasta Skillet

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta using a colander and set it aside.

Place a large, deep skillet over medium - high heat. Pour the olive oil into the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and onion. Cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it's browned and cooked through. Then, drain the excess grease from the skillet.

Return the cooked meat to the skillet and set the heat to medium. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until it becomes fragrant, which should take about 1 minute.

Add the Italian seasoning and beef stock to the skillet. Stir the ingredients together, making sure to scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan.

Pour the marinara into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium - high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.

Stir the heavy cream and the cheese into the skillet. Keep stirring until the cream and cheese are well - combined with the sauce.

Add salt and pepper to the skillet according to your taste preferences.

Add the reserved pasta to the skillet and stir it into the sauce until the pasta is coated.

Serve the creamy Italian pasta skillet immediately.
