Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free fettuccine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 oz can diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free fettuccine according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the meat is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste, then add the oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to ensure the pasta is evenly coated with the meat sauce.
Serve the fettuccine hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley.
