Ingredients for Easy Ground Beef Pasta Recipe

How to make Ground Beef Pasta

The first step is to soften the diced onions in olive oil, then add the ground beef. Cook until done, drain off any excess fat or liquid, then add all purpose flour. Stir for one minute and add Worcestershire sauce.

Next, add your broth, scraping up any bits of flavor on the bottom of the pan.

This is a good time to get that pasta cooked and drained.

Boil the pasta to package instructions

Back to the sauce, add the tomato sauce, paste, seasonings and milk.

Stir in about 3/4 of the cheese, reserving some for serving. Stir until melted and well combined.

Add most of the shredded cheese to the sauce

Finally, add your cooked and drained pasta, a bit more salt and pepper and chopped parsley.

Add the pasta to the sauce

Serve with a loaf of your favorite crusty bread. It’s simply delicious with a bit of parmesan topping as well. I really hope you give this one a try!
