Ingredients
Scale
Pasta:
- 8 ounces medium uncooked shells
Beef Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
- 1/3 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Boil Pasta: Boil water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
- Sauté Onion: Meanwhile, in a skillet, sauté the onion in the olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat (ok if it browns a little).
- Cook Beef: Add the beef to the pan and cook it until it’s browned, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along (about 5 minutes). If there’s a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out.
- Make Sauce: Stir in the garlic and chili powder, then add the tomato sauce and beef broth. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add Cream: Stir in the cream and season with salt & pepper as needed. Let the cream warm through.
- Combine: Toss the sauce with the drained pasta shells. Serve immediately.
