Description
A delightful dish combining savory meatballs in a rich garlic butter sauce with comforting linguine pasta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz linguine pasta
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Cook the linguine according to package instructions, then drain and set it aside.
- In a bowl, combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then form into small meatballs.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the meatballs. Cook until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
