Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook for 9–11 minutes until al dente. Drain and reserve a cup of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and stir in heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in Parmesan and mozzarella until melted and smooth.
  5. Add the cooked ground beef back to the skillet and toss with the drained linguine for 2–3 minutes, adding reserved pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.
  6. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and extra Parmesan.
