Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook rotini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  5. Stir in tomato paste, beef broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5–7 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  6. Add cooked rotini to the skillet and toss until pasta is well coated with the sauce.
  7. Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan and chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute ground beef with turkey or sausage for variety.
  • Add vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for more nutrition.
  • Use marinara instead of tomato paste for a tomato-forward version.
  • Whole wheat or gluten-free pasta are suitable alternatives.
  • Freeze leftovers up to 1 month; thaw and reheat before serving.
  • To make it creamier, add a splash of cream or cream cheese at the end.
