Who wants and needs a simple to make, one-pot dinner that the whole family will love? I should think everyone, that's who! Fortunately, the absolute only preplanning necessary for this dish is remembering to thaw the ground beef, and that is only if you keep it in the freezer! See, this recipe really is a keeper...
One-Pot Pantry Pasta with Ground Beef is completely adaptable. If you like your Ragu on the sweeter side, that's OK. If you love garlic, or possibly not at all (OMG, really!?), that's OK too. If you like more pasta than sauce, even that's OK. Because measuring suggestions have been offered to accommodate everyone with this recipe. All you have to do is stir it up, and serve. Oh and by the way, don't forget the Parmesan!
Ingredients needed for this recipe:
- lean ground beef
- spaghetti
- onion
- garlic
- canned tomatoes
- beef broth
- salt & pepper
- oregano
- sugar
- olive oil
- large pan with lid
- stirring spoon
One-Pot Pantry Pasta with Ground Beef
by the seat of my pants!
1 large onion, diced
2 to 4 cloves garlic - chopped, use as much as your family enjoys
1 pound extra-lean ground beef - pinched into small pieces
2 - 14 1/2 oz cans diced tomatoes - do NOT drain
2 T tomato paste
1 1/2 c beef broth
1 t oregano
1 1/2 t salt
fresh ground pepper
1 - 3 t sugar (if you are fond of a sweeter Ragu, use the full amount)
6 - 8 oz spaghetti - broken (I prefer the smaller amount, use what works for your family)
1 - 2 T Olive oil
Parmesan Cheese
In the bottom of a large pan, layer the ingredients as listed, diced onions, chopped garlic, ground beef, broth, tomatoes, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove lid, stir well, making sure the ground beef is in separate pieces, add spaghetti and olive oil. Stir again.
Cover and cook for 10 minutes, remove the lid, cook an additional 5 minutes or until pasta is done to your liking, stirring once or twice.
If you have some fresh spinach in your fridge, feel free to add a couple handfuls to the pasta, stir well, and let the cooked pasta sit for one minute.
Offer Parmesan cheese at the table.
