Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 12 oz rotini pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
