Ingredients

1 lb (450g) ground beef

12 oz (340g) linguine pasta

3 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups milk

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Chopped parsley or basil (for garnish)

Extra Parmesan for serving

Directions

Cook linguine in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked (6–7 minutes). Drain excess grease and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in milk and cream, stirring until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Add Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is creamy.

Return cooked beef to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Toss in linguine, mixing until noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.

Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serve hot, garnished with parsley and extra Parmesan.
