Ingredients
12 ounces dried pasta (such as penne or rotini)
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounces) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (8 ounces) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dried pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juice, tomato sauce, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the beef sauce. Toss gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the ground beef and pasta mixture hot, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
