12 -
1 tablespoon olive oil, use a nice one
→ Optional Toppings
13 -
Parmesan, grated fresh
# Instructions:
01 -
Before you eat, add some Parmesan if you want. Toss your pasta with the creamy sauce, then taste and give it salt and pepper till it’s just right. Let the sauce bubble for three to five minutes with the cream until it thickens a bit.
02 -
Toss in diced tomatoes with all their juices, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and your Italian spice. Simmer and let everything hang out together for around four or five minutes so it thickens up and gets really tasty.
03 -
Add garlic and your beef to the onion. Crumble the meat up, let it cook for about eight minutes till it's nicely browned. If you get a bunch of fat in the pan, just pour some off.
04 -
Pour your olive oil into a big pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion chunks and cook till soft and see-through, about four minutes, while your pasta is boiling.
05 -
Get a big pot of salty water boiling. Drop in your pasta and cook until it's got a little bite left—just check the box for timing.
