Cheesy Garlic Butter Linguine with Beef, Sausage, and Spinach

Instructions

Step 1: Cook linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and Italian sausage until browned. Drain excess fat.

Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4: Stir in heavy cream, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 5: Add fresh spinach and cook until just wilted.

Step 6: Toss cooked linguine into the skillet, coating it in the sauce. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

Step 7: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and extra red pepper flakes if desired.

Storage Information

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth if needed to loosen the sauce. Freezing is not recommended, as the creamy sauce may separate.
