Ingredients
- 12 oz gluten-free pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 14 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the gluten-free pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground meat. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 5
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Add the cooked gluten-free pasta to the skillet and toss to coat with the meat and vegetable mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 8
Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed and enjoy your delicious gluten-free pasta dish.
