A hearty and flavorful one pot pasta dish featuring ground beef, tomatoes, and tender pasta cooked together for an easy and satisfying 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 can (14.5 ounces) 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 or deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Stir in dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
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, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
