Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 12 ounces whole wheat pasta
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in beef broth. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. While the sauce simmers, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  5. Season the meat sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can let the sauce simmer for a longer period, up to an hour.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
