Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 400 grams Diced tomatoes, canned
- 250 milliliters Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow it to caramelize slightly.
Add the canned diced tomatoes and beef broth to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Season the sauce with oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the beef sauce.
Garnish the pasta with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
