Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Almond flour rigatoni
- 1 lb Ground beef (grass-fed)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 14 oz Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the almond flour rigatoni according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and remove the beef from the skillet. Set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet and combine with the tomato sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the beef and sauce mixture.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your paleo beef rigatoni!
