Beef pasta recipe
This homestyle beef ragu pasta recipe is quick, easy, and so comforting!

How to make beef pasta
This ground beef pasta with no cream is very easy to make. We cook pasta and the meat sauce separately, then toss the pasta into the sauce at the very end. Cook onion, garlic, and aromatic before adding the meat, then the marinara sauce. Stir in the parmesan, adjust the seasoning, and add the cooked and drained pasta. Reheat for a couple of minutes to thicken the beef pasta sauce then serve.

Directions
1. To make the beef pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain well and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent about 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic, bouillon, and Italian seasoning, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add ground beef and cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Crumble the beef as it cooks and drain any excess fat.
4. Stir in marinara sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes.
5. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir the cooked pasta into the sauce.
6. Stir in chopped parsley and grated parmesan until melted, about 2-3 minutes. Serve the beef pasta immediately. Enjoy! ❤️
