Equipment
- 1 large skillet
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 casserole dish (2-quart)
- 1 wooden spoon or spatula
- 1 set measuring cups and spoons
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups gluten-free pasta (elbow or penne)
- 2 cups beef broth (or vegetable broth)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the gluten-free pasta, beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
You can add vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave. Always check the labels of all ingredients to ensure they are gluten-free.
