Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cup uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) beef broth

  • 1/4 tsp. pepper

Notes

I didn’t have a can of tomato puree in my pantry, so I just took a can of diced tomatoes and threw them in my BlendTec. It worked great!
