Quick and Easy One Pot Rigatoni

Step 1

Chop carrot, onion and celery into small pieces. 1 stalk celery, 1 large carrot, 1 medium onion

In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. When the beef is about halfway cooked, add in the chopped veggies. Cook until the beef is done and the veggies are soft.B2 pounds ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper

Step 3

Drain all the grease from the beef and veggie mixture and return to the pot.2 pounds ground beef, 1 stalk celery, 1 medium onion, 1 large carrot

Step 4

Add in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, garlic powder and Italian seasoning and bring to a boil.¼ cup tomato paste, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

Step 5

Add in the beef broth and stir the mixture together.4 cups beef broth

Step 6

Add in crushed tomatoes and stir the sauce together.2 28 ounce cans crushed tomatoes

Step 7

Once the sauce mixture has come up to a boil, add in the uncooked pasta and turn heat down to a low simmer (just under medium heat). I like to put a lid on the pot. If it gets to be too bubbly, simply lower heat a little more. 1 16 ounce box Rigatoni
