One Pot Beef Pasta

Description

Rich and creamy beef pasta made all in one pot - quick and easy.

Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 cups short pasta, uncooked (shells, elbows, penne, rigatoni)
  • 1 cup passata (strained tomatoes, tomato puree)
  • 2 cups beef broth/stock
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
  • parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Heat a large pot over medium high heat. Add olive oil. Add onions and begin sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. 

  2. 2

    Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. 

  3. 3

    Add the ground beef and sauté until almost completely browned. It will take about 7 to 10 minutes. 

  4. 4

    Add the salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix and continue to cook until ground beef has completely browned. 

  5. 5

    Move the ground beef aside to create space for the tomato paste in the center of the pot. Allow the tomato paste to cook down for 1 minute in the center of the pot before combining with the beef and cooking for another minute. 

  6. 6

    Add the uncooked pasta and mix to combine. 

  7. 7

    Add the passata, beef broth/stock, and heavy whipping cream, mix, and bring to a boil. 

  8. 8

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until pasta is al dente and liquid has mostly dried up, about 15-18 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom. 

  9. 9

    Add the grated cheese and mix. Adjust for salt and spices and serve immediately with finely chopped parsley and chili flakes.
