Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 12 ounces bow tie pasta (farfalle)
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the uncooked bow tie pasta to the skillet, followed by the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the pasta cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 6

Dollop the ricotta cheese over the pasta, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly over the top.

Step 7

Cover the skillet again and let the cheese melt, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped basil, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
