Cheesy Garlic Butter Linguine with Savory Ground Beef is a rich, creamy pasta dish made with al dente linguine tossed in a garlicky butter and cream sauce, then combined with seasoned ground beef and melted mozzarella. It delivers all the comfort of a restaurant-style creamy beef pasta in about 30 minutes using simple pantry staples.
Why you’ll love this pasta
This recipe follows the same pattern as popular garlic butter beef linguine dishes: brown the beef, build a garlic-butter cream sauce in the same pan, melt in cheese, then toss with hot pasta. The result is a silky sauce that clings to every strand of linguine, with savory beef in every bite and enough garlic and Italian herbs to keep it from tasting flat.
It’s also highly adaptable. You can swap in Parmesan, add broth for a looser sauce, toss in spinach or mushrooms, or finish with red pepper flakes, similar to the variations suggested in creamy beef and garlic butter pasta recipes.
