Ground Beef Pasta Recipe

Are you thinking about what to make with ground beef and pasta? This is the perfect recipe for you. This one-pot ground beef pasta is cooked in a rich and tasty spiced tomato sauce.

It is a very hearty and satisfying one-pot meal for those evenings you want to get a nutrition-packed dinner on the table in no time at all. It's a staple weeknight favorite in my home!

Simple Ingredients

This one-pot ground beef pasta is packed with goodness, protein, and energy-fuelling carbs. It uses simple pantry ingredients, and it is quick and simple to make without compromising on flavor. And only one pot to wash up at the end!

It calls for a couple of ingredients, including tomato sauce, olive oil, salt, chili flakes, garlic, parsley, and pasta. I'd guess you already have most, if not all, of those ingredients on hand! However, don't underestimate this dish. Sometimes, the most flavorful recipes come from the most simple of ingredients. It's how you treat those ingredients that matters.

What you will need for this one-pot ground beef pasta.

• Pasta:It's hard to beat pasta when you want a convenient and filling meal. It is loved by everybody, even the pickiest of children, and so versatile. I have used Rotini pasta in this recipe as I find it perfectly carries the luscious sauce and beef in its swirls. But any other pasta would work just as well.
• Ground beef:Ground beef is something I cook often. It cooks quickly and can be put in everything from stews to pies to pasta dishes like this one. I often make my own ground beef as it is super easy and tastes extra fresh.
• Tomato sauce and beef stock:These form the base of the rich and savory sauce for the pasta. You can also use chicken or vegetable stock if that is what you have to hand.
• Seasonings and spices:Gather some fresh garlic, ginger, onion, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, paprika, and beef stock to bring this one-pot ground beef pasta to life. To me, there is no good excuse for serving boring or bland food!
• Spinach, basil, or parsley:For extra health benefits and a touch of vibrant color and flavor.
• Parmesan for serving:Optional, butreallygood if you like it!

How to make Pasta with Ground beef pasta

• Saute onion & garlic:Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the diced onions and cook till translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds to a minute.
• Cook beef:Add beef and cook, breaking it up as you go until the meat has all changed from red to brown.
• Stir in the tomato Sauce:I love to pour some chicken stock into the empty can and rinse the leftover sauce into my pot.
• Add everything else:Add every other ingredient except the pasta and parsley, and green onion. Stir, and leave to come to a rolling boil.
• Add the pasta and cook:Add pasta and cook for about 8 minutes, then stir in the parsley and green onions. The pasta will be saucy, but the sauce will reduce while the pasta cools down.
• Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan if needed.

FOR SERVING

• Grated parmesan (optional)

Recipe Notes.

• I will always say that it is best to prep all your ingredients ahead of time. It helps to make the whole cooking process even faster.
• If you enjoy your food hot and spicy, as I do, you can add more red pepper flakes to your own taste.
• If you are having extra people over for dinner? You can easily double the ingredients to feed everybody with no extra work or stress.
• I have usedrotini pasta in this recipe, butfusilli, penne, or spaghettiwould also be great. Use whatever you want or have, but check on the packet so that you can adjust the cooking time if needed.
• If you have any leftovers, they will do well in the fridge for 4 days or in the freezer for about two months.
