Tips:

For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. Just add a little more butter to the sauce to make up for the lack of fat.
To make the sauce even creamier, add a tablespoon of cream cheese.
If you want a thicker sauce, add a tablespoon of flour to the butter before adding the milk or heavy cream.
You can use any type of pasta for this recipe, but short pastas like penne or macaroni work best.
Add some chopped fresh parsley or basil to the finished dish for a pop of color and flavor.
