# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 lb linguine pasta
02 - 1 lb ground beef
03 - 3 tbsp butter
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tbsp olive oil

→ Sauce and Seasoning

06 - ½ cup chicken broth
07 - 1 cup heavy cream
08 - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
09 - ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1 tsp salt
11 - 1/8 tsp pepper
12 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
13 - 1 tsp garlic powder
14 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# Directions:

01 - Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, following package directions. Drain and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully crumbled. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden.
04 - Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any flavorful bits from the pan with a spatula. Let the broth simmer to slightly reduce.
05 - Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Once it begins to warm, mix in Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sauce becomes thick, smooth, and cheesy.
06 - Return the cooked beef to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sauce. Add the linguine and gently toss until fully coated in the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.
07 - Plate the pasta and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and extra Parmesan, if desired.
