LEFTOVERS? DON’T TOSS IT

Do you continually make too much pasta? That’s some thing I’m always responsible of doing.

Cheesy Ground Beef Pasta Skillet

Every now and then I reheat it and throw a few spaghetti sauce on it then name it “dinner,” but every so often i love to assume out of the box with it.

But as I said, I tend to have leftover pasta, so I didn’t trouble cooking any for this. The only factor missing will be the bit of pasta water this is called for within the recipe. I used simple water and it labored nicely.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups ziti pasta cooked see NOTES
1 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb ground beef
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp crushed red chili flakes optional
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs tomato paste
1 onion chopped
1/2 cup chopped parsley plus more for garnish
salt to taste
2 cups shredded mozzarella

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cook pasta according to al dente package directions less 1 minute. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain pasta without rinsing.
Meanwhile in a large skillet over high heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil and brown beef while breaking up with a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes. Reduce to medium heat. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in garlic, onions, chili flakes, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, parsley, and 1/2 cup pasta (or plain) water. Simmer until meat is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Toss in pasta and 1 cup mozzarella. Top with remaining cheese and cover with lid. Garish with additional parsley.
