Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups beef stock
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups uncooked spiral pasta
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method

  • In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up beef into crumbles, 5-10 minutes; drain. Add garlic and seasonings; cook 1 minute longer. Add the stock and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Add pasta and peas; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, until pasta is tender, 10-12 minutes.
  • Gradually stir in cream and cheese; heat through (do not allow to boil).
