Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the big shell pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a separate large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Season the beef mixture with salt and pepper. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and dried basil. Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  5. Add the cooked big shell pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to combine and ensure the pasta is well coated.

  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and sauce, stirring to incorporate.

  7. Serve the Big Shell Pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious and filling meal!
