Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free elbow macaroni
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, canned
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup beef broth, gluten-free
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring to break it up into small pieces.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and gluten-free beef broth. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked gluten-free macaroni to the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef sauce. Ensure the macaroni is well coated with the sauce.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt through the pasta and beef.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting gluten-free macaroni dish!
