Savory Beef and Garlic Butter Linguine in Parmesan Cream
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Linguine pasta | 1 lb |
| Ground beef | 1 lb |
| Butter | 3 tbsp |
| Garlic, minced | 4 cloves |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Parmesan cheese, grated | ½ cup |
| Mozzarella cheese, shredded | ½ cup |
| Italian seasoning | 1 tsp |
| Garlic powder | ½ tsp |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
| Olive oil | 1 tbsp |
| Fresh parsley, chopped | For garnish |
Directions
Cook the Linguine:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
Brown the Beef:
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and crumbly. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant and golden.
Create the Creamy Base:
Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until melted and smooth. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and garlic powder, stirring constantly as the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
Combine Everything:
Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing it into the creamy sauce. Add the linguine and toss gently until each strand is evenly coated in the rich, buttery sauce.
Finish and Serve:
Taste and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Top with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
This indulgent pasta brings together everything you love — garlic, cheese, and tender beef — in one comforting, creamy bite.
