Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
12 oz rotini pasta
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

2. Season the Beef: Sprinkle Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the cooked beef. Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the spices, then set aside.
3. Cook the Rotini: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and set aside.
