how to cook Healthy Ground Beef Pasta Skillet

STEP 1

Get ready for a delicious and nutritious meal! Start by pouring 6 cups (1.5L) of hot water into a pan and bringing it to a boil.

STEP 2

Add some salt, stir, and then toss in the Rigatoni pasta.

TIPS: Short pasta lovers, rejoice! Instead of Rigatoni pasta, try using different varieties like shells, feathers, spirals, or tubes. They add a fun twist to your dishes and provide a unique texture.

STEP 3

Boil it until it’s al dente, following the package instructions.

TIPS: Don’t forget to cook your pasta al dente to ensure it doesn’t become mushy in the pan later. Al dente pasta should be firm to the bite, with a slight chewiness that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

STEP 4

Once the pasta is ready, drain the water and let it cool.

STEP 5

While the pasta is cooking, cut the onion into quarter rings.

TIPS: Ever wondered what it means to cut an onion into quarter rings? Start by cutting a whole onion in half lengthwise. Then, cut one of the halves in half lengthwise again. Finally, slice the resulting quarter of the onion across, and voila! You’ve got yourself a quarter ring.

STEP 6

Heat a frying pan over high heat and add a little vegetable oil. Toss in the chopped onion and fry for 5 minutes until fragrant.

STEP 7

Then, add the ground beef and cook for 10-12 minutes until it’s nice and crumbly.

TIPS: If you prefer a different type of minced meat, such as pork, the mixed variety or chicken, feel free to use it instead of the ground beef.

TIPS: Be sure to brown the ground beef properly by breaking it up into small pieces and letting it cook until nicely crisped and browned. This will add a depth of flavor to your dish that is truly unbeatable!

STEP 8

Season the ground beef and onion with salt and black pepper, then pour in some water and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Once the pasta is boiled, add it to the pan with the ground beef and onions, stirring everything together.

STEP 9

Close the pan with a lid. Let it cook for another 5 minutes to let all the flavors meld together.

STEP 10

Wash, slightly dry and coarsely chop some green onions.

TIPS: Instead of the green onions consider using fresh herbs like chives or parsley that can add a burst of freshness to the dish.

STEP 11

To finish off this amazing dish, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for a burst of freshness and color.

STEP 12

Now it’s time to enjoy a flavorful and satisfying meal with this Healthy Ground Beef Pasta Skillet!
