Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 12 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the uncooked bow tie pasta to the skillet, followed by the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the pasta cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
Dollop the ricotta cheese over the pasta, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
Cover the skillet again and let the cheese melt, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
