Equipment
- Dutch oven (or a large stockpot)
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 yellow onion diced small
- 2 carrots chopped small
- 1 lb. ground beef at last 85% lean
- 1 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes
- 1 6 oz. can of tomato paste
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 lb. long pasta spaghetti, linguini, or something similar.
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Dash of red pepper flakes
- Shredded parmesan cheese optional, for serving
Instructions
- In a dutch oven or a large stockpot, heat up the olive oil over medium heat (about 30 seconds).
- Throw in the minced garlic, diced onions, and chopped onions. Sprinkle with salt. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the ground beef. Break it up with a wooden spoon and mix with the carrots and onions. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the ground beef has fully browned. Leave the cooked off fat in the pot.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let it come to a simmer.
- Break the long pasta in half with clean hands. Tuck the pasta into the simmering sauce using your wooden spoon, then cover completely.
- Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring it every 5 minutes. Make sure to keep covering the pot after doing a stir. This will prevent anything from burning at the bottom.
- Top with shredded parmesan cheese and fresh oregano, if desired.
Notes
The calories do not account for added cheese and are calculated with an 85/15 ground beef.
