Cook bowtie pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with chopped onion until beef is cooked through and onion is soft. Drain excess grease.

Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.

Reduce heat to low. Stir in Velveeta cubes, milk, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Cook, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.

Add cooked pasta to the skillet and stir to coat evenly.

Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot.

Add a can of diced tomatoes or green chilies for extra flavor.

Use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter option.

Leftovers reheat well with a splash of milk to loosen the sauce.
