Description
Make dinner time quick and easy with this One Pot Rigatoni Bolognese! Everything cooks in one pot – even the pasta cooks right in the sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 1 carrot (finely chopped)
- 1 celery stalk (finely chopped)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (16-oz) box rigatoni pasta (uncooked)
- grated parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the beef: Heat oil in a medium-large pan. Brown the beef, seasoning with a few pinches of salt and pepper as it cooks.
- Cook the vegetables: Add the finely chopped vegetables to the pot with the beef and cook over medium heat, stirring often, until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Season and deglaze: Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, pepper and tomato paste to the pan. Stir until mixed in well. Pour in 3 cups broth, scratching the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Cook the pasta: Add the diced tomatoes and uncooked pasta to the skillet, making sure to stir everything in until the pasta is covered with liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pasta is done, about 15 minutes. Add up to one more cup of broth during cooking, as needed. Serve with grated parmesan.
Notes
Use lean ground beef for best results. Do not pre-cook the pasta to avoid a soupy consistency. Sauté the tomato paste for a few minutes before adding broth for a richer flavor. For leftovers, bake in a casserole dish at 400°F for 15-20 minutes until bubbly.
