Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cups cooked pasta
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup beef broth
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Grab your 1 pound of ground beef and sizzle it in a large skillet at medium heat (375°F) until it turns a rich brown color, breaking the meat into small crumbles.
- Toss in your chopped medium onion and minced 2 cloves of garlic, stirring for 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Pour the entire 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes, 1 cup beef broth, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning into the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly.
- Reduce heat to low and let the mixture gently bubble and simmer for exactly 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and develop.
- Fold in your 2 cups of pre-cooked pasta, ensuring each noodle gets coated with the savory sauce.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese across the top, then cover the skillet and let it sit for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, making sure each serving has a perfect balance of flavors.
Notes
- Brown the ground beef thoroughly to develop deep flavor and prevent a watery sauce.
- Select lean ground beef (90/10) to reduce excess grease in the final dish.
- Grate fresh Parmesan or mozzarella instead of using pre-shredded cheese for better melting and richer taste.
- Add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar while simmering to enhance the overall depth of the sauce.
