Equipment

  • Large pot

Method
 

  1. Cook linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
  3. Add butter and garlic to the beef. Cook 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a low simmer.

Notes

For extra depth of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning. Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter variation. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently with a splash of milk or cream.
