    Simple Beef Linguine Pasta with Parmesan and Basil

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This rustic no-sauce parmesan beef pasta is really quick and REALLY scrumptious, with flavors of garlic and seared tomato.

    I don’t know, I just think we all can use more quick recipes that are also filling, tasty, and feed a crowd. So when I come home from the lab and I’m HANGRY, I don’t want to feel like I don’t really have a choice but to get some take-out.

    That makes me feel defeated and unhealthy. I want to feel healthy and happy---and so does my tummy!

    Savory and Simple Parmesan Beef Pasta

    To be honest with you guys, I probably eat pasta at least once a week. I love it dearly and you can do almost anything with it.

    I mean, if you take a glance at my recipe index up there, you’ll quickly realize I’m completely nutso for it.

    And also, I love my beef marinara pasta but sometimes I feel like a no-marinara pasta while keeping the ground beef in the mix (strong source of iron!!). So that’s where the tomato paste comes in to marry the ingredients together but you almost can’t even tell it’s there.

    It definitely gives it great flavor but it’s very subtle too. What’s not subtle in this dish though?

    The GARLIC.

    Put the whole head in there and don’t look back.

    Oh! And what’s wonderful about pasta is that you have leftovers upon leftovers! Unless you’ve got a bunch of mouths to feed---then, maybe no leftovers.

    Savory and Simple Parmesan Beef Pasta

    Cooking and food is my joy but sometimes I just don’t have the time or energy every single night after work to slave away for hours in the kitchen. So this kind of meal cooks up fast with very little prep work and it may last a while too!

    I mean come on, last night’s delicious pasta leftovers are a billion times better for a weekday lunch than a cold deli sandwich waiting in the work fridge.

    And that reminds me that I really have to get back to work because the data won’t analyze themselves! Back from spending the holidays in California and Washington and I’m in the thick of it now.

    Work will be seriously hectic for the next month or so.

      Made this last night. It was delicious and the whole fam loved it! Along with some homemade garlic bread. I didn't put nearly as much garlic as the recipe called for, but it was none the worse in my opinion. Super easy and I will definitely be making it again!

      Looks delicious! I've never added turmeric into pasta sauce before, but I'm keen to try it out. Also, anything with an entire head of garlic in it has GOT to be good 🙂

        Thanks so much, Finn! Persians definitely rely on turmeric when cooking meat and I always add it to my ground beef. It enhances the flavor a bit and it's extremely healthy to boot! Oh, for sure the full head of garlic really makes it for me here. And if it's not added right away and it's not finely minced then there's no way it'll be overpowering. You just get little bursts of amazing garlic flavor here and there 🙂 🙂

      Looks delish! Can't wait to make it 🙂 The recipe doesn't specify how much pasta. I'm gonna assume a pound?

        Hi Rachel,
        Wake up call to me to triple-check in the future! Thanks for bringing it to my attention! I use 3/4 of a 1 lb. package of linguine pasta but you can definitely use more or less depending on what you like for your meat to pasta ratio. 🙂

      Really delicious. I didn't add as much garlic as my 1 & 4yo might have not enjoyed it. Thank you for the recipe!

      I thought this recipe looked so good, I loved the ingredients with the exception of turmeric. It was my first time using it and it will now be a staple in my kitchen. Delicious! I did use ground turkey as I don't eat beef. I also added a little olive oil to the top of each serving. My husband loved it too. Thank you
