Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Season with salt and black pepper, then drain excess fat if necessary.

In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Stir in the melted butter and chopped parsley, mixing well.

Add the cooked bowtie pasta to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce and ground beef. Toss to combine thoroughly.

Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving. Enjoy!
