Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 12 oz Elbow macaroni
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 16 oz Tomato sauce
- 14 oz Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Chicken or beef broth
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes (including their liquid), and broth. Mix well to combine.
Season the sauce mixture with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring it to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked elbow macaroni to the skillet with the beef and tomato mixture. Stir well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and stir it in until melted and incorporated.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Let the dish rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to settle.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
