Beef and Shells 🍝


  • Author: Dulcia
  • Total Time: 30 min
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale

8 ounces medium uncooked shells
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes
1/3 cup beef broth
1/4 cup heavy/whipping cream
Salt & pepper to taste


Instructions

1️⃣ Boil water for your pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions. 🍲

2️⃣ Meanwhile, in a skillet, sauté the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes over medium heat. It’s okay if it browns a little. 🧅

3️⃣ Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up with your spoon as you go along (about 5 minutes). If there’s a lot of excess fat, spoon most of it out. 🍖

4️⃣ Stir in the minced garlic and chili powder, then add the tomato sauce and beef broth. Give it a good stir and cook for 4-5 minutes, reducing the heat so it gently simmers. The sauce should thicken a bit, but don’t let it go dry. 🍅

5️⃣ Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt & pepper as needed. Let the cream warm through. 🍶

6️⃣ Toss the drained pasta shells with the sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy! 🍽️
