Creamy Linguine with Ground Beef and Parmesan: Ready in 30 Min

Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Reserve a ladle of cooking water and drain them.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet.
Add the onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until it becomes tender.
Stir in the garlic and then the ground beef. Cook it by crumbling it with a spatula until golden brown.
Season generously with salt and pepper.
Pour in the liquid cream and milk.
Add the mustard and a pinch of nutmeg.
Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes over low heat.
Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until you get a smooth and creamy sauce.
Add the linguine to the pan.
Toss gently to coat the pasta well.
If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved cooking water until you have a perfectly creamy texture.
Serve immediately.
Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

My advice: The Cristel 28cm at 89€ browns the beef without it boiling. Freshly grated parmesan = sauce that does not slice.
🔥 The secrets of a successful
dish Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a more melt-in-your-mouth sauce.
Do not boil the sauce after adding the cheese so that it remains smooth.
Always keep a little pasta cooking water: it helps to bind the sauce naturally.
Serve as soon as the preparation is finished to enjoy an ultra-creamy texture.
