Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Reduce heat to low, stir in softened cream cheese and Alfredo sauce with beef until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add reserved pasta water if necessary.
  4. Combine cooked pasta with the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat for about 2 minutes. Add more reserved pasta water for silkiness if needed.
  5. Serve the Cheeseburger Alfredo Pasta in bowls or plates, optionally sprinkle with sharp cheddar cheese and serve warm.
