Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz linguine pasta
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation of Pasta: Cook the linguine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the water and set the pasta aside.
- Cooking the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Use a spoon or spatula to break it apart during cooking. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Once fully browned, drain any excess fat and set the beef aside.
- Making the Sauce: Melt butter in the same skillet used for beef. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Adding the Cheeses: Into the simmering cream, add Parmesan, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. Stir continuously until all the cheese has melted into a smooth and creamy sauce.
- Combining Beef and Pasta: Add the cooked ground beef to the cheesy sauce, mixing well to ensure it’s thoroughly incorporated. Then, add the cooked linguine, tossing everything together to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
- Final Garnish: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
