Creamy Beef Linguine

This recipe reminds me of beef stroganoff, except it is much easier to make.

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups skim or lowfat milk
3/4 cup reduced sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons light butter
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon lite salt
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
pepper, for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup reduced fat grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 pound lean ground beef
12 oz linguine pasta

Directions:
-Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef all at once. Season the top side with seasoned salt, to your own taste.  Cook the meat until done, and set aside. 
-Heat milk and broth together in a microwave, or on the stove. Set aside. In a medium pot cook the linguine until done, according to package instructions.
-While the pasta is cooking: In a large skillet over medium-high heat add the butter, then turn down to medium heat and let the butter melt. Add the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper, and saute until the onions are soft. Whisk the flour into the butter mixture, until it turns golden. Pour in the hot liquid and whisk vigorously until there are no lumps. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens. Add the parmesan cheese and sour cream, and stir until the cheese melts. Add the cooked beef and stir to mix. Remove from heat.
-Place the cooked pasta on a serving platter and then pour the beef sauce over the pasta. Serve immediately.


Enjoy! :)
