Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 clove garlic, grated
1 pound ground beef

Stir in the garlic and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, breaking up the beef into small pieces, until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the tastiest cheeseburger pasta, use high-quality ingredients, such as fresh ground beef, sharp cheddar cheese, and a flavorful pasta sauce.
  • To get the perfect sear on your burgers, cook them over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the burgers. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • To make sure the pasta is cooked al dente, cook it for 1-2 minutes less than the package directions.
  • For a cheesy, gooey sauce, use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • If you don't have any hamburger buns, you can use any type of bread or roll that you like.
  • Serve the cheeseburger pasta with your favorite toppings, such as ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onions.

Conclusion:
