Cooking timeline

0:00
Boil the Water
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a full boil.
0:05
Cook the Linguine
Add the linguine and stir immediately to separate the noodles. Cook for 1 minute less than the package directions so the pasta stays al dente.
0:08
Brown the Beef
While the pasta cooks, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef. Season with about half of the roasted garlic, rosemary, and sea salt blend and ½ to 1 tsp black pepper. If using the homemade seasoning option, use about half of that mixture here.
0:10
Build a Crust
Let the beef cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes so it develops a deep brown crust. Break it apart and continue cooking until fully browned. Drain excess grease if needed, leaving a little in the skillet for flavor.
0:15
Build the Flavor
Lower the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter, the fresh garlic if using, and the red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant. Add the remaining seasoning blend or homemade seasoning mixture.
0:17
Reserve Pasta Water
Before draining the linguine, reserve 1 cup of pasta water. Drain the pasta without rinsing.
0:18
Add the Alfredo
Pour the Alfredo sauce into the skillet with the beef. Add ½ tsp black pepper and the Parmesan. Stir until combined.
0:20
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low or medium low and gently simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
0:24
Make It Silky
Stir in ¼ cup reserved pasta water. Add more a little at a time as needed until the sauce is smooth and loose enough to coat the linguine.
0:26
Add the Linguine
Add the drained linguine directly to the skillet and toss over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes until evenly coated.
0:28
Adjust
Add small splashes of pasta water as needed. Taste and adjust with more black pepper, Parmesan, butter, red pepper flakes, or a small squeeze of lemon if needed.
0:30
Finish
Turn off the heat. Top with extra Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper and serve immediately.

Trust Me on This: Let the beef brown before breaking it apart for deeper flavor. Pair with garlic bread and an arugula salad for the perfect dinner.
