Ingredients
1 lb Linguine pasta
1 lb Ground beef
3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 tablespoon Olive oil
4 cloves of Garlic, minced
½ cup Chicken broth
1 cup Heavy cream
½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup Shredded mozzarella cheese.
1 teaspoon Salt
⅛ teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions
- Cook linguine al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef, breaking into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Sauté 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.
- Add cooked linguine and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.
Notes
- For extra richness, stir in 2 oz cream cheese with the heavy cream
