Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz Linguine A classic pasta choice.
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Can be substituted with turkey or plant-based meat.
  • 3 cloves Garlic (fresh, minced) The key ingredient for flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Butter For richness.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Can use nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Essential for the cream sauce.
  • to taste Salt and Pepper For seasoning.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley (optional) For garnish.

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking the Beef
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking apart with a spatula (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Making the Cream Sauce
  1. Reduce the heat and add heavy cream, stirring gently. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
  2. Gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combining and Serving
  1. Add the drained linguine to the sauce, tossing until the pasta is well-coated in the cream sauce.
  2. Plate your Garlic Butter Parmesan Beef Linguine and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a beautiful finish.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream to restore sauce texture.
