A hearty and flavorful one pot pasta dish featuring ground beef in a rich tomato sauce, cooked together with pasta for an easy, comforting meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
12 ounces uncooked penne pasta
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add diced onion and minced garlic to the beef. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Add uncooked penne pasta, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to distribute the pasta evenly in the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
