Author Stacey Little

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces rotini pasta (or other short pasta)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup beef broth/stock
  • 1 (24-ounce) jar marinara
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  • In a large, deep skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil then add the ground beef and onion. Brown the ground beef until cooked through, drain the excess grease away.
  • Return the meat to the skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant - about 1 minute. Add the Italian seasoning and beef stock and stir to combine - being sure to scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the marinara. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook uncovered for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and the cheese. Stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the pasta to the skillet and stir. Serve immediately.
