How to make it
1
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.  Trim, peel, and finely chop carrot. Pick parsley leaves from stems; roughly chop leaves.
2
Step 2
Once water is boiling, add cavatappi to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Drain.
3
Step 3
While cavatappi cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add carrot; cook, stirring, until browned and tender, 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Step 4
Increase heat under pan with carrot to medium high and add a drizzle of oil. Push carrot to one side of pan. Add beef* to empty side. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned, 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning. Cook, stirring, until beef is cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir carrot and beef to combine.

Step 5
Stir in marinara and ⅓ cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Reduce to a simmer and cook until sauce has slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cream cheese until thoroughly combined.  Add drained cavatappi, half the chopped parsley, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4); stir until pasta is warmed through, 1-2 minutes. (For 4, if pan is too small, carefully transfer everything to pot used for pasta.) Season with salt and pepper.
