Ingredients
  

8 oz linguine pasta

1 lb ground beef

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

    Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Use a spatula to break it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary, then season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet with the browned beef, push it to the side and add the butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and chopped onion, cooking until fragrant and the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

        Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine with the beef and aromatics. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then gradually add in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.

          Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.

            Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if you like some heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
