Pasta and Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Paccheri

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the paccheri pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the ground prime beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Season

    Once the beef is browned, add the crushed San Marzano tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked paccheri pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve the pasta topped with grated Pecorino Romano cheese and chopped fresh basil.
