A hearty and flavorful one pot pasta dish featuring ground beef, tomatoes, and pasta all cooked together for an easy and delicious meal.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14.5 ounces) can diced tomatoes with juice
4 cups beef broth
8 ounces uncooked penne pasta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and beef broth, stirring to combine.
Add the uncooked penne pasta to the pot and stir to submerge the pasta in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
