Ingredients

  • 16 ounces macaroni noodles
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (seeded and diced )
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 32 ounces tomato sauce (or pureed tomatoes )
  • 16 ounces diced tomatoes
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • parmesan cheese and fresh basil (optional garnish )

Steps

  1. 1

    Cook macaroni according to package instructions; set aside.

  2. 2

    While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large, deep skillet. Add onion, peppers and garlic plus a pinch of salt and pepper and saute until tender, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add ground beef and oregano to the pan. Cook until beef is browned through, using a wooden spoon to break into bite-sized pieces. Continue until beef is golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and diced tomatoes and heat until cooked through. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

  4. 4

    Add pasta to the pot and stir once more. Garnish with parmesan cheese and basil before serving.
