INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (85% lean)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (dry)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce (canned)
1/4 cup Light Cream Cheese
1 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic
1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the whole wheat pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula until it’s browned and cooked through.
Stir in the tomato sauce and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low and mix in the light cream cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the creamy tomato sauce and beef.
Finish by sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese over the dish before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
