Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (kosher-certified)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Beef broth (ensure kosher certification)
- 2 cups Uncooked elbow macaroni
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free heavy cream substitute
- 1 cup Dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat, and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle the paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the beef mixture. Stir to evenly coat the beef and onions with the spices.
Stir in the tomato paste until fully combined with the beef mixture.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the uncooked elbow macaroni to the skillet and stir to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the mixture simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked, add the dairy-free heavy cream substitute and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the dairy-free shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and stir until melted and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
