Lean Ground Beef with Creamy Tomato Pasta
Savor the hearty flavors of lean ground beef mingling with whole wheat pasta in a silky, tomato-based sauce enriched with a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt. This satisfying dish balances a rich meaty essence with the bright acidity of tomato and a hint of garlic and basil for a comforting meal.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Whole Wheat Pasta (cooked)
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/4 medium Onion, chopped
1 Garlic clove, minced
Olive Oil Spray
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, lightly spray a skillet with olive oil spray and add the chopped onion. Sauté over medium heat until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the lean ground beef. Break it up with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato sauce and season with salt and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and fold in the nonfat Greek yogurt to create a creamy texture. Mix in the chopped basil.
Combine the creamy beef tomato sauce with the cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced meal.
