Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb ground beef
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup pasta
- ½ cup grated cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet to medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Drop 1 cup chopped onions and 2 minced garlic cloves into the pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until vegetables become translucent.
- Crumble 1 lb ground beef into the skillet. Break meat into small pieces while cooking for 6-8 minutes until no pink remains.
- Pour 1 can diced tomatoes and 1 cup beef broth into the meat mixture. Sprinkle 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning across the surface.
- Add 1 cup pasta directly into the liquid. Raise heat to high and bring contents to a rolling boil.
- Decrease heat to low. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and let simmer for exactly 15 minutes.
- Remove lid and check pasta tenderness. Ensure liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Turn off heat and let dish rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Shower ½ cup grated cheese evenly across the top before serving.
Notes
- Brown the beef thoroughly to develop deep, rich flavor and prevent a watery sauce.
- Choose lean ground beef (90/10) to reduce excess grease and keep the dish lighter.
- Fresh herbs like basil or parsley can replace dried Italian seasoning for a brighter taste.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular pasta with chickpea or zucchini noodles to maintain the dish’s heartiness.
