Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Meatballs/Sausage

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, oregano, and basil. Form into meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter). Alternatively, you can use Italian sausage links.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs/Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. If using sausage, brown the links and then slice them into bite-sized pieces.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Remove meatballs or sausage from the skillet and drain excess fat. Add onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, and return meatballs or sausage to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
