Ingredients

• 12 oz Gluten-free rigatoni pasta
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 28 oz Canned diced tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Red wine (optional)
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat the beef and onions.

Step 6

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and red wine, if using. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once the sauce has thickened to desired consistency, add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet. Toss gently to thoroughly coat the pasta with the sauce.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
