Ingredients
Scale
To create this comforting dish, you’ll need a handful of pantry staples and a few fresh ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup uncooked pasta of your choice
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken if you prefer a lighter option. For a vegetarian version, swap the ground beef with lentils or textured vegetable protein.
Instructions
Follow these steps to bring this dish to life, just as Mama Lu would have done:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned all over, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- In a separate pot, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the cooked pasta and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Serve hot, topped with the remaining Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil if desired.
