Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground meat. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the meat and vegetable mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed and enjoy your delicious gluten-free pasta dish.
