Cook the Beef:

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Add Vegetables:

Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and garlic.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.

Incorporate Red Curry Paste:

Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Add Tomatoes:

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir everything together.

Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, letting the flavors combine.

Finish with Cream:

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream.

Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the Pasta:

While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to package instructions.

Drain and reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency, if needed.

Combine and Serve:

Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.
