Equipment
- Large Skillet with Lid
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean Ground Beef
- ½ small Onion (optional), minced
- 1 tbs Garlic, freshly minced
- 1 tbs Italian Seasoning Blend
- 1 tsp Paprika
- ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- ½ tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 c Low-Sodium Beef Broth
- 2 c Tomato Sauce
- ½ c Heavy Whipping Cream
- 8 oz Dry Mafalda Pasta, or another shape like Farfalle
- 8 oz Shredded Italian Six-Cheese Blend
Instructions
- Add the ground beef and minced onion, if you're using onion, to a large skillet or pan, with a lid, set over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, stirring occasionally, for about 7-10 minutes, until the meat is thoroughly browned.
- Drain the browned beef in a colander set in your sink, then return it to the pan. Add the minced garlic and stir it into the beef. Cook for about a minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Then, add the Italian Seasoning Blend, Paprika, Red Pepper Flakes, Kosher Salt, and Freshly Ground Black Pepper. Stir the herbs and spices into the meat until well combined.
- Next, add the Low-Sodium Beef Broth, Tomato Sauce, and Heavy Whipping Cream. Stir until all of the liquids are well combined, and bring the mixture to a low boil.
- Once the liquid is slightly boiling, add the dry Mafalda pasta and stir well so that it is distributed evenly throughout the pan and fully submerged in the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer, place the lid on the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes, until the pasta is cooked al dente.
- Once the pasta is done, add 4 oz. Shredded Six-Cheese Italian Blend Cheese, then stir until all of the cheese is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.
- Remove from the heat and top with the remaining 4 oz of cheese. Then, place the lid back on the pan for a few minutes, until the cheese has melted.
- Top with a sprinkle of freshly minced parsley. Serve with a crisp salad and some crusty French bread. Enjoy!
- Yield 6 servings.
