Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 diced Red bell pepper
- 28 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 ounces Dairy-free pasta (penne or spaghetti)
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the pepper begins to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until it's browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine flavors.
While the sauce is simmering, cook the dairy-free pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
When the sauce is ready, combine it with the cooked pasta, stirring well to coat the pasta with the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and serve hot.
