Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free rigatoni pasta
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 28 oz Canned diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red wine (optional)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat the beef and onions.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and red wine, if using. Stir to combine.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the sauce has thickened to desired consistency, add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet. Toss gently to thoroughly coat the pasta with the sauce.
Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
