INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
50 grams Whole Wheat Pasta
2 medium Fresh Tomatoes
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
2 tablespoons Fresh Basil
2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Chop the fresh tomatoes and add them to the skillet with the beef. Allow the tomatoes to break down and form a sauce, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
Stir in chopped fresh basil into the tomato and beef mixture. If needed, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked pasta with the beef and tomato sauce, ensuring the pasta is well coated.
Plate the dish and finish with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
