Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Rigatoni pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 800 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Drain the rigatoni and return it to the pot. Pour the meat sauce over the pasta and toss until well combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your dairy-free rigatoni with meat sauce.
