Boil the Pasta: Fill a large pot with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, leaving enough for flavor.

Add Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the beef. Stir for 1-2 minutes to infuse flavors.

Create the Sauce: Reduce heat to low, add cubed Velveeta cheese and milk, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.

Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add drained pasta to the skillet, mixing gently to coat each piece with sauce for about 2 minutes.

Serve and Garnish: Remove skillet from heat, serve warm, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
