Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 250 ml beef broth
- 400 grams pasta (e.g., penne or rigatoni)
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until the beef is browned, about 7-10 minutes.
Drain excess fat if necessary and add canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet.
Sprinkle in oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour in the beef broth, bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for about 15 minutes to thicken the sauce and merge the flavors.
Meanwhile, in a large pot, boil water and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the beef sauce and stir well to coat the pasta.
Serve the beef pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
