Creating this amazing dish is easy and rewarding! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Linguine: In a large pot of salted boiling water, add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Once the beef is browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Incorporate Butter: Add the unsalted butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and combine with the beef and garlic. Stir to create a rich, buttery sauce.

5. Combine Linguine: Add the cooked linguine to the skillet with the beef mixture. Toss everything together until the linguine is well coated.

6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the linguine and toss until it melts and is evenly distributed throughout the dish.

7. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.

8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnishing with fresh parsley if desired.
