Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz linguine or fettuccine
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in the butter over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, and mix well.
- Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and pasta. Stir everything together to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer on low heat, cover, and cook until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally and add more broth or water if needed.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter option, use lean ground turkey or chicken in place of beef.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper while cooking the garlic and beef.
- Make sure to stir occasionally while the pasta cooks to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little extra broth or water to adjust the consistency.
