Ingredients
- 8 oz shell pasta
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 1 lb ground beef 90/10
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 14.5 oz beef stock
- 15 oz tomato sauce
- 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded, about 2 cups
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper (or red pepper flakes)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil and cook pasta for 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water and drain pasta. Do not rinse. Set aside and toss with some olive oil to help the shells not stick together.
- In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, mushrooms and cook 2 minutes more, stirring often. Add the ground beef and Italian seasoning. Break up the beef with a spoon and cook until no longer pink. Season the beef to taste with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture. Stir to cook for a minute and add the heavy cream, beef stock, pasta water and tomato sauce. Stir to mix thoroughly and lower heat to simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, sauce will thicken. Add the cheese and stir to incorporate.
- Add the cooked pasta to the meat sauce and stir to combine. Cook another 3 minutes on low, season to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- If reheating leftovers, add 1/4 cup milk to loosen it up and get saucy as the pasta absorbs.
