Ingredients

• 12 oz gluten-free elbow macaroni
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, canned
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 cup beef broth, gluten-free
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring to break it up into small pieces.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and gluten-free beef broth. Add the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Add the cooked gluten-free macaroni to the skillet, stirring to combine with the beef sauce. Ensure the macaroni is well coated with the sauce.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt through the pasta and beef.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy this comforting gluten-free macaroni dish!
