  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups uncooked pasta (shells or rotini)
  • 3 cups beef broth

  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) to make it fancy

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are soft.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the uncooked pasta, beef broth, diced tomatoes, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and let simmer.
  4. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat and add the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until melted and bubbly.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Leftover storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of broth to prevent dryness.
