Easy and simple ground beef and pasta skillet recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups pasta (cooked) see NOTES
1 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb ground beef
½ tsp pepper
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp crushed red chili flakes (optional)
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 tbs tomato paste
1 onion, chopped
½ cup chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
salt to taste
2 cups shredded mozzarella

Start by cooking the pasta al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, and drain the pasta without rinsing.

Next, in a large skillet over high heat add 1 tablespoon olive oil and brown the ground beef while breaking up with a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes.

Reduce to medium heat, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the garlic, onions, chili flakes, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, parsley, and ½ cup pasta water.
Simmer until the meat is tender, for 8 to 10 minutes.

Toss in the pasta and 1 cup of mozzarella. Top with the remaining cheese, cover with lid and finally, garish with additional parsley.

Enjoy!
