• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion (finely chopped)

1 carrot (finely chopped)

1 celery stalk (finely chopped)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

salt & pepper (to taste)

1/4 cup tomato paste

3 cups beef broth (or more as needed)

1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes

1 (16-oz) box rigatoni pasta (uncooked)

grated parmesan (to serve (optional)

Directions

Brown the beef: Heat oil in a medium-large pan. Brown the beef, seasoning with a few pinches of salt and pepper as it cooks.

Cook the vegetables: Add the finely chopped vegetables to the pot with the beef and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened (about 2-3 minutes).

Season and deglaze: Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, pepper and tomato paste to the pan. Stir until mixed in well. Pour in 3 cups broth, scratching the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.

Cook the pasta: Add the diced tomatoes and uncooked pasta to the skillet, making sure to stir everything in until the pasta is covered with liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pasta is done, about 15 minutes. Add up to one more cup of broth during cooking, as needed. Serve with grated parmesan.
