ABC Pasta with Beefy Tomato Sauce:
I found this recipe on the back of a Catelli Alphabets Pasta box. I adapted the recipe slightly and Lauren loved it!
I portioned the leftovers into lunch/snack size servings and froze them.
I portioned the leftovers into lunch/snack size servings and froze them.
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
1 finely chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning or 1/2 tbsp oregano and 1/2 tbsp basil
1 can (28 oz/796 mL) crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp ketchup
1/3- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese - the recipe called for 3/4 cup, but I started with less and added more to taste
Directions:
Cook alphabets according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, deep skillet set over medium heat.
Add beef, onion, garlic and Italian seasoning; cook, crumbling up the beef with a spoon until browned.
Add tomatoes and ketchup; simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in alphabets and Parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Freeze 1 cup portions to have on hand for a speedy heat-and-serve lunch.
