Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Step 5
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Add the cooked rotini pasta to the skillet and toss to ensure the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
