Ingredients

  • 1 pound pulled beef (store-bought or homemade)
  • 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or your choice)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

How to Make Creamy Pulled Beef Pasta

  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the pulled beef to the pot, stirring to combine with the garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the pot, tossing to coat it evenly with the creamy sauce.
  6. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and chopped mint, being careful not to break the berries.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional mint and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the creamy sauce.
  • Use high-quality pulled beef for the best texture and flavor; homemade or store-bought both work well.
  • Be gentle when folding in the raspberries to keep them intact for presentation.

Easy Variations

  • Swap the raspberries for blueberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
  • Use a different type of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni, for a fun twist.
  • Add vegetables like spinach or arugula for added nutrition and color.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette complements the richness of the pasta.
  • Garlic bread is always a hit and perfect for mopping up the creamy sauce.
  • A chilled glass of white wine pairs beautifully with this dish.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth if the sauce has thickened.
