Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced

- ¼ cup red wine or beef broth
- 24 ounces marinara sauce or pasta sauce
- 8 ounces fusilli or medium pasta
- ¼ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions

- While the beef is browning, cook pasta in salted water just until al dente. Drain but do not rinse.

- Top with cheeses and serve.
Notes
- For this recipe we use fusilii, but any pasta will do. Try penne, rotini, or bowtie pasta.
- Cook pasta noodles just to al dente as they continue to cook when simmered with the meat sauce.
- Ground beef can be substituted for ground chicken, pork, or Italian sausage.
- No Red Wine? Substitute a splash of beef broth.
