Ingredients

• 12 oz Gluten-free rotini pasta
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 can (14 oz) Chopped tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free)
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet or deep sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the onion and garlic to the side of the skillet and add the ground beef. Break up the meat using a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet and stir to combine with the sauce.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pasta mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
