Method
Cooking the Pasta
- 1
Boil Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine or linguini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Making the Beef Gravy Cream Sauce

Make Roux
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until a light golden roux forms.

Add Broth
Slowly whisk in the beef broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened.

Add Cream and Cheese
Reduce heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combining and Serving
