CHEESY BEEF PASTA SKILLET
Serves 8
Directions
- 1Cook pasta until al dente, reserving 1 cup pasta water before draining.
- 2Spread three pounds of beef evenly in your pan to sear the bottom.
- 3Cook up one box of protein pasta while the ground beef is cooking.
- 4Once one side of the ground beef has color, flip it over and add a diced onion.

- 6Just before the ground beef is done cooking, add five teaspoons of minced garlic.
- 7Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- 8Mix well as your beef finishes up cooking.
- 9Once your ground beef is done cooking, add one 28 oz jar of crushed tomatoes and one cup of beef broth.
- 10Mix in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth and bring to a low simmer.
- 11Let this simmer for about five to seven minutes until a nice, thick, rich sauce is formed.
- 12Once the sauce is thick, add in your cooked protein pasta and mix well to coat the noodles.
- 13Reduce your heat and add one cup of grated parmesan and two cups of part-skim mozzarella.
- 14Keep mixing until all the cheese is melted and well combined.
