1. Cook the Pasta:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

Drain, rinse with cool water, and set aside.

2. Brown the Beef:

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked (about 5–6 minutes).

Stir in the minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Drain excess grease if necessary.

3. Make the Creamy Ranch Sauce:

Reduce heat to low-medium and sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the cooked beef.

Pour in the heavy cream and beef broth, stirring to combine.

Add the sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

4. Add the Sweet Corn & Pasta:

Stir in the sweet corn and cooked bowtie pasta, tossing everything together until evenly coated in the creamy ranch sauce.

Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. Serve & Garnish:

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Serve warm with extra shredded cheese on top, if desired.
