Description
A delightful dish that combines rich flavors and a satisfying texture with tender beef, silky linguine, and a luscious garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 grams linguine pasta
- 500 grams ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 100 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes, to taste
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Boil a large pot of salted water, add linguine, and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to low, add unsalted butter, and once melted, add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add cooked linguine and browned beef to the skillet, tossing until well coated. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, mixing until cheese is melted and everything is combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Notes
- For gluten-free, use gluten-free linguine.
- Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- Use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
