INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
3 oz Red Lentil Pasta
1 cup Broccoli
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Cut the broccoli into florets and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the red lentil pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef and break it up with a spatula. Sauté until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Add minced garlic to the beef and continue cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the beef and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet until well coated with the sauce and beef mixture.
Plate the pasta and top with the roasted broccoli. Serve warm and enjoy a comforting, protein-rich meal.
