INGREDIENTS

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound (8 ounces) rigatoni pasta, uncooked
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 5 teaspoons Flavor Maker Pasta Topping Seasoning, divided
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Finely chopped fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 Cook pasta in lightly salted water as directed on package until al dente. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Set aside.
  • 2 Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add ground beef. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the Flavor Maker Seasoning. Cook and crumble beef until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes. Use slotted spoon to remove from pan; keep warm.
  • 3 Add bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, salt and remaining 3 teaspoons Flavor Maker Seasoning to skillet. Cook and stir about 8 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Return beef to skillet, along with noodles and reserved 1/2 cup pasta water, stirring to mix well. Cook just until heated through. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley, if desired.

    Test Kitchen Tip: Looking for a lighter version? Try with ground turkey and veggies like yellow squash, zucchini and artichokes hearts in place of the pepper, onion and tomatoes.
