Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Gluten-free pasta
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces, can Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh basil
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 quarts Water
Instructions
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if necessary, then stir in the diced tomatoes and tomato paste.
Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, stirring well to combine. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked pasta to the skillet, stirring well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the pasta and stir to incorporate.
Just before serving, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Serve the gluten-free pasta with ground beef immediately, garnished with additional basil or Parmesan as desired.
