Directions

1. Begin by cooking the linguine according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until it is browned and cooked through. Be sure to drain any excess fat.
3. Add the minced garlic to the browned beef and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the brown sugar, beef broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ground ginger, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet, stirring until the sauce thickens, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
6. Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked linguine to the skillet. Toss the noodles in the sauce until they are well coated and heated through.
7. Garnish the dish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: Feel free to swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version. You can also use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option.
• Optional variations: Add in some veggies like sliced bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas for an extra nutritional boost and color.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce if necessary.
