1tablespoonOlive oil
4clovesGarlic, minced

Instructions
Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain well and set aside.
Brown the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes, just until it’s fragrant but not browned.
Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses until the sauce is smooth and the cheese is fully melted.
Combine Everything: Return the browned beef to the skillet. Add the drained linguine and toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the creamy garlic butter sauce.
Serve: Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy the creamy, comforting flavors!
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and flavor. Don’t overcook the pasta. If the sauce gets too thick, thin it with a splash of reserved pasta water or a little more beef broth.
