Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz linguine
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.

Notes
Drain the pasta well to keep the sauce thick. Don’t burn the garlic; cook until fragrant. Browning the beef adds flavor, so let it color before stirring. If the sauce gets too hot, add the cheese off the heat to prevent clumping.
