Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 2 medium onions finely chopped
  • 1 carrot finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 24 ounces marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 pound rigatoni pasta uncooked
  • ½ cup grated parmesan plus additional for reserving if desired.

Instructions

  • In a large stockpot over medium heat, brown the ground beef and sausage. Drain fat if desired.
  • Add the tomato paste and chopped vegetables to the pot with the beef and cook over medium heat. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened, stirring often.
  • Pour in the broth and pasta sauce into the pot, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Stir to combine.
  • Now add the pasta. Stir and make sure the pasta is covered with liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the pasta is done, about 14-15 minutes.
  • When pasta is tender, remove from heat and stir in grated parmesan.
  • Pour into a large serving bowl and serve with additional grated parmesan - enjoy!

Notes

To test for doneness, remove a few pieces of pasta and taste test. When it's tender to your liking remove from the heat. Stir in the cheese. Place on a serving plate to stop the cooking.
