Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 12 ounces spaghetti or thin pasta
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set it aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or thin pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
Transfer the pasta and sauce mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the Talerini from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, cheesy pasta dish!
