▢ Cook pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of boiling salted water and drain well.
▢ Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, breaking it with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat and set aside.

▢ To the same skillet, add diced onion, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
▢ Whisk in flour until lightly browned, for about 1 minute.

▢ Gradually whisk in beef stock and stir to combine. Add marinara sauce and stir in Italian seasoning, dried parsley, oregano, and paprika.

▢ Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 6-8 minutes.

▢ Stir in cooked pasta, and add back beef.

▢ Next, stir in heavy cream until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.

▢ After that, stir in the sour cream.
▢ Next, fold in the cheddar cheese until melted, about 1-2 minutes.

▢ Serve immediately, garnished with parsley if desired.

ENJOY!
