About this recipe

What you will need ready

12 oz pasta
1 lb ground beef
24 oz pasta sauce
1 onion
3 clove garlic
2 tbsp tomato paste (optional)

Step-by-step

Dice 1 onion and mince 3 clove garlic.
Brown 1 lb ground beef with onion in a large pot over medium-high, breaking up meat, until no pink remains.
Add 3 clove garlic; cook 1 minute.
Stir in 24 oz pasta sauce and 2 tbsp tomato paste. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile boil 12 oz pasta in salted water until al dente; drain.
Taste sauce and adjust salt and pepper.
Toss pasta with sauce or serve sauce over pasta.
Simmer uncovered if sauce needs thickening.
Keep sauce warm on low while pasta cooks.
Serve immediately in warm bowls.

Cook tips

Long simmer melds flavors—do not rush.
Salt pasta water generously.
Skim excess fat from beef if needed.
