Ingredients
Scale
1 lb linguine pasta
1 lb ground beef
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until it’s browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
In the same skillet, melt the softened butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add the cooked linguine, ground beef, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
Divide the Cheesy Garlic Butter Linguine Pasta with Savory Ground Beef among plates or bowls, and serve hot. Garnish with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese, if desired.
