Creamy Parmesan Beef Linguine with Garlic Butter Sauce

Print Recipe

A cozy and elegant pasta dish featuring creamy parmesan sauce and ground beef, perfect for any dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguine: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente (usually around 9-11 minutes).
  2. Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as it cooks.
  3. Sauté the garlic: Push the beef to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the empty side; let it melt, then stir in the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Create the creamy sauce: Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the beef and garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the Parmesan: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water!
  6. Combine pasta and sauce: Once the linguine is done cooking, reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain. Add the linguine to the skillet with the sauce and toss until well coated.
  7. Final touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Let the mixture sit for a minute to thicken slightly.

Notes

For added flavor, consider tossing in sautéed mushrooms or spinach. This dish can be made ahead and reheated gently.
