Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb extra-lean ground beef
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 jar (650mL) marinara sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 cups dried mafalda pasta or rotini
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, marinara sauce, and beef broth. Mix well to combine all flavors.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the pasta. Cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.

Notes
- This recipe can also be made in a slow cooker or Instant Pot.

- Add cheeses just before serving to maintain their texture.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Add extra broth when reheating.
