Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 12 ounces penne pasta uncooked
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving
  • Fresh basil for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Brown beef in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat about 5-6 minutes, breaking up with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Cook onion 3-4 minutes until soft; add garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute. Mix in tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add uncooked pasta; ensure submerged. Bring to a boil; reduce to medium-low.
  5. Cover; simmer 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and most liquid absorbs.
  6. Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan. Stand 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
  7. Serve hot with extra Parmesan and optional basil.
