Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine with the beef and garlic. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is creamy. Adjust consistency with pasta water if needed.
Combine and Serve: Add the cooked rotini to the skillet and toss gently until well coated with the sauce. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
