Ingredients
- 8 ounces rotini penne, or other medium pasta
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ green bell pepper diced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juices, 1 can
- 2 cups pasta sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Toppings
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon thinly sliced fresh basil leaves or to taste, as garnish
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley or to taste, as garnish
Instructions
- Brown beef, onion, and garlic in a skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Drain fat.
- While the beef is browning, cook pasta in salted water just until al dente. Drain but do not rinse.
- Add green pepper to the ground beef and cook 3-4 minutes or until it begins to soften. Stir in tomatoes, sauce, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in cooked pasta and simmer an additional 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
- Mix ricotta and parmesan cheese. Top the skillet with dollops of cheese mixture. Add the mozzarella around the ricotta and cover until melted. Garnish with herbs if desired.
Notes
- Any medium pasta will work. Mafalda is the name of the ruffled shape I've used in the photos.
- Cook pasta just to al dente (firm) as they will continue to cook when simmered with the meat sauce. Do not rinse pasta.
- Ground beef can be substituted for ground chicken, pork, or Italian sausage.
- For a browned topping, add mozzarella cheese to the skillet and broil 2-3 minutes. Add ricotta and fresh herbs before serving.
