Ingredients

Scale

1 lb extra-lean ground beef

1 medium onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 (650mL) jar marinara sauce

4 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)

3.2 cups dried mafalda pasta (or rotini or broken lasagna noodles)

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, marinara sauce, and beef broth.

  3. Cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Add pasta during the last 30 minutes.
  4. Serve warm, topped with ricotta and mozzarella cheese, and finish with fresh herbs.

Instant Pot Instructions

  1. Select the sauté setting and cook the ground beef with onion and garlic for about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in marinara sauce, broth, seasonings, and pasta (ensure pasta is submerged).
  3. Set to high pressure for 3 minutes, then perform a quick release.
  4. Dish into bowls and top with cheeses and herbs before serving.

Notes

Use turkey or chicken for a leaner version.

Add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

Store leftovers in the fridge for 4–5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat with a splash of broth to maintain consistency
