Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta until al dente and reserve one ladle of pasta water before draining.

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then add ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink.

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and chopped spring onions. Season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and cumin. Let everything sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the flavors combine.

Add a ladle of pasta water to the beef mixture for natural creaminess. Toss in the drained pasta and stir well.

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the hot pasta and stir until it melts into a creamy, flavorful sauce.

Garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and enjoy your quick, one-pan dinner that tastes like it came from a restaurant!
