Step: Add the beef broth, marinara, diced tomatoes and parmesan rind.

Notes

You can substitute half of the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use half the amount of dried herbs. For freezer storage, do not add the noodles or cheese; cool completely and freeze in airtight containers for up to 6 months.
