BAKED PENNE WITH GROUND BEEF AND TOMATO SAUCE



Baked Penne With Ground Beef and Tomato Sauce image

Of course you can use your favorite bottled pasta sauce of your choice to make this recipe, but it is really the sauce that makes this (do not omit the green bell pepper, I also add in a jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped but that is optional) To save some time and to allow the flavors to blend I strongly suggest to prepare the sauce 1-2 days in advance and refrigerate, this sauce freezes well for up to 3 months. Do not over cook the pasta as it will cook even more in the oven...you will *LOVE* this!

TOMATO-MEAT SAUCE



Tomato-Meat Sauce image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     easy

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound extra-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound chopped onion
2 large cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 pound mushrooms, chopped
28 ounces no-salt-added whole tomatoes
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a nonstick skillet, brown the meat in its own fat, stirring to break the meat up. Push it to the side of the pan. Add oil, and saute onion until it begins to soften. Add garlic, and cook 30 seconds more. Add the carrots and mushrooms, and cook until the mushrooms begin to give up their juice. Cook until the liquid evaporates.
  • Add tomatoes, breaking them up with fingers as they go into the pan, along with tomato paste, basil and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour. Cool, and refrigerate or freeze.
  • To serve, reheat slowly and serve over spaghetti.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the final flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of tomatoes to create a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
  • Roast your tomatoes before making the sauce: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste. To roast tomatoes, simply cut them in half and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and salt, and roast in a 400°F oven for 30-45 minutes, or until the tomatoes are softened and slightly browned.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a ton of flavor to tomato sauce. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Tomato sauce is best when it is simmered for a long time over low heat. This allows the flavors to meld and develop. However, don't overcook the sauce, or it will lose its fresh flavor.

Conclusion:

Tomato sauce with meat is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and flavorful sauce that is perfect for pasta, pizza, or any other dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this tomato sauce with meat a try. You won't be disappointed!
