Apples and Ground Beef Pasta image

Wasn't sure what to call this. This recipe first came to me from my sister-in-law who said she got it from Weight Watchers. She didn't have exact measurements for most items though so I've worked it into how we like it. It's a lovely dish for cold nights with lovely spicy sweet flavors to compliment the savory meat.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef
3 apples, chopped

2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a few apples that were about to go bad and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I used ground turkey instead of ground beef and it turned out great! This recipe is very versatile.

The sauce was a little too thin for my liking. I added some cornstarch to thicken it up.

This recipe was a little too bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.
