Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef or Italian sausage Can use either ground beef or Italian sausage.
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups uncooked pasta (like lasagna noodles broken into pieces)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add ground beef or sausage, onion, and garlic. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are soft.
  2. Stir in crushed tomatoes, broth, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add the pasta and reduce the heat; let it simmer until the pasta is cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
  4. Serve hot, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

For a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes while cooking the meat. If you want extra veggies, toss in some chopped spinach or bell peppers along with the meat. Make sure not to overcook the pasta; it should be just tender since it will continue to cook a bit after you remove it from the heat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months.
