Notes

  • For extra nutrition, add mushrooms or spinach.
  • If you prefer a spicy version, add red pepper flakes.
  • Ground turkey or chicken can be used instead of beef for a lighter option.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers can be added for extra flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or broth.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free rotini and check that the broth is gluten-free.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based crumbles.
  • This dish can be assembled ahead of time and reheated just before serving.
  • Herbs like parsley, thyme, or basil pair well with the dish.
  • If you like, deglaze the pan with white wine before adding the broth for a richer flavor.
  • To prevent the sauce from curdling, simmer gently and avoid high heat once the cream is added.
