Beef & Corn Fiesta Penne Alfredo

Ingredients:
12 oz penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen or canned corn (drained if using canned)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Directions:
Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks, about 5–7 minutes.
Add Vegetables & Seasoning:
Stir in the diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
Lower the heat slightly and pour in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer and stir in the Parmesan cheese and Monterey Jack (or mozzarella). Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Combine with Pasta:
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to combine everything evenly. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes so the pasta absorbs the flavor.
Serve:
Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, Tex-Mex inspired twist on Alfredo!
