Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni recommended)

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic, and sauté until softened.
  • Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  • Stir in tomato paste, cooking for 1 minute. Then add crushed tomatoes, beef broth, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add pasta. Stir well, ensuring pasta is submerged in the sauce.
  • Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and additional Parmesan if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add a splash of red wine for extra richness in the sauce.
  • Substitute gluten-free pasta for a gluten-free meal.
