INGREDIENTS

6 oz 93% lean ground beef

0.75 cup chickpea pasta

0.5 cup tomato puree

1 tsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp fresh basil

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea pasta according to package instructions until al dente.

• 2

  While the pasta boils, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• 3

  Add the finely diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.

• 4

  Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked through.

• 5

  Stir in the tomato puree, red wine vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

• 6

  Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to deepen and the beef to become tender.

• 7

  Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly into the skillet with the beef and sauce, tossing well to coat every noodle.

• 8

  Serve immediately topped with freshly torn basil leaves for a bright, herbal finish.
