Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Bowtie pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
- 1 Celery stalk, finely chopped
- 28 ounces Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Bay leaf
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add chopped carrot and celery to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Add water and mix well.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer gently for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together, discard the bay leaf.
Toss the cooked bowtie pasta with the meat sauce until evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
