Ingredient Note: For the best flavor, nutrition, and ethical considerations, select ingredients that are organic, fresh, and as natural as possible. Opt for grass-fed products that are free from hormones, antibiotics, and nitrates. Look for items sourced from trustworthy family-owned companies, as they often prioritize health and quality over profits. Unlike some large corporations that may prioritize profit margins over your well-being, these smaller enterprises take pride in delivering wholesome, sustainable ingredients to your table. By choosing ingredients from such sources, you not only enhance the taste of your dish but also contribute to a healthier, more sustainable food system.
Preparation
STEPS FOR PATTIES:
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, diced onions, cubed bell pepper, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, salt, black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 2
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure the patties are about 1/2-inch thick for even cooking.
Step 3
Place the beef patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
STEPS FOR PASTA:
Step 1
Cook the linguini pasta according to the package instructions until it's al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced or spiralized zucchini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the zucchini becomes tender but still has a slight crunch. Transfer the sautéed zucchini to a plate and set it aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant and lightly golden.
Step 4
Return the cooked linguini to the skillet with the garlic lemon butter sauce. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Step 5
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the linguini and squeeze the lemon juice into the skillet. Stir well to combine. The lemon adds a bright and refreshing flavor to the dish.
Step 6
Season the linguini and zucchini with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed. If desired, garnish the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor and presentation.
Step 7
Return the cooked linguini to the skillet with the garlic lemon butter sauce. Toss the pasta to coat it evenly with the sauce.
