Cooking Steps
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and set it aside.
- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat over medium heat and crumble the ground beef into the pan. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and fully cooked.
- Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, dried minced onion, garlic powder, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the vodka sauce and beef stock, mixing until well combined. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cubed Velveeta cheese until fully melted, creating a smooth creamy sauce.
- Add the drained farfalle pasta into the skillet, tossing gently until fully coated.
- Sprinkle in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until both cheeses melt and integrate into the sauce.
- Place the skillet back on low heat and allow to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to thicken the sauce and meld flavors.
- Remove from heat and serve hot, optionally garnished with extra cheese or fresh parsley.
