  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic for about 5 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook for about 7 minutes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Lower heat and gradually add the heavy cream while stirring. Mix in reserved pasta water until the sauce reaches desired consistency. Stir in grated Parmesan until melted.
  5. Fold in the cooked pasta, ensuring it is well-coated with the sauce. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Serve the creamy beef pasta hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
