Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces gluten-free pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.
Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Add the canned diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large baking dish, combine the cooked pasta with the meat sauce. Mix until the pasta is well coated.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the pasta and sauce.
Top with shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
