Ingredients
- 14 oz pasta
- 8 4/5 oz ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 14 oz tomato sauce
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 4/5 oz parmesan cheese
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a generous pinch of salt, and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- 2While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 3Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent.
- 4Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, just until fragrant—do not let it brown.
- 5Increase the heat slightly and add the ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon; cook for 5-6 minutes until fully browned and no longer pink.
- 6Season the beef with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then pour in the tomato sauce, stirring to combine.
- 7Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 8Drain the cooked pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water.
- 9Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly; if the sauce seems thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to achieve a silky consistency.
- 10Cook the combined pasta and sauce together for 1-2 minutes over low heat to let the pasta absorb some of the sauce.
- 11Remove the skillet from the heat, plate the pasta, and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- 12Serve immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with extra black pepper or fresh herbs if desired.
