Notes
c
For extra flavor, add garlic powder or Italian seasoning with the tomatoes.
If the pasta soaks up too much liquid, add a splash of broth or water.
Swap beef for ground turkey, chicken, or sausage.
For meal prep, cook pasta separately and add it just before serving.
Cheese lovers can stir in shredded cheddar at the end for creaminess.
