Easy One-Pan Cheesy Meaty Penne
This pasta recipe is so easy and pure comfort food! This Easy Cheesy Meaty Penne has a creamy sauce and tons of cheese.
Ingredients
½ pound ground beef (minced beef)
¾ pound penne pasta
½ can Marinara sauce (tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and onions - pasta sauce in southern hemisphere for Italian seafood dish) - Hunt's Garlic and Herb, my favorite and low sugar
1 medium yellow onion
½ teaspoon garlic powder - to taste
½ teaspoon chili flakes (chilli flakes in British English) - to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - to taste
2 slices provolone cheese
¼ cup Mozzarella cheese
¼ cup parmesan cheese
Instructions
- First, I browned the ground beef with the onion and started cooking the penne in a different pan. (Follow package instructions for pasta, and taste when it gets close so that you stop cooking at your favorite desired tenderness level).
- Next, when the meat was cooked and the onions were very soft, I added half a can of spaghetti sauce and spices.
- I simmered this until the pasta was almost done. Next, I added all the cheeses, except for half of the parmesan.
- After all the cheese was smoothly melted and the pasta was cooked, I stirred in the pasta and topped it with the remaining parmesan. Bon Appetit!
