Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz bowtie pasta
  • 1 lb ground beef You can substitute with turkey or plant-based meat.
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes, undrained 1 can
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese For topping

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the bowtie pasta, beef broth, heavy cream, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring it all to a boil.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce thickens.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover for a few minutes until melted.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or broth if the sauce thickens.
