Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Linguine Pasta
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 24 oz Marinara Sauce
  • 8 oz Velveeta Cheese cubed
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes optional
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the linguine until al dente, about 8-10 minutes; drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add the ground beef and brown, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
  3. Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
  4. Pour marinara sauce into the skillet, mixing well with the beef; let it simmer on low for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add cubed Velveeta cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  6. Combine the cooked linguine with the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let sit for a couple of minutes until melted; garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For a healthier twist, substitute lean ground turkey instead of beef, and use whole wheat pasta for added fiber. This dish keeps best for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. To reheat, add a splash of water or milk to regain creaminess. You can freeze this dish for up to 3 months; just add extra liquid when reheating. Garnish with fresh herbs or serve with garlic bread for a complete meal. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
