ReceptnaptárOne-pan beef and tomato pasta
One-pot pasta is the saviour of American weeknights: the pasta cooks in the sauce so its starch thickens it, and there's only one pan to wash. It's kid-friendly, filling and ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- In a large, deep frying pan or pot, soften the onion in the oil over medium heat (4-5 minutes), then add the garlic.
- Add the mince and brown it, crumbling it (6-8 minutes); drain off excess fat if there's a lot.
- Stir in the tomato paste, cook for 1 minute, then add the chopped tomatoes, stock, oregano, salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, add the uncooked pasta, stir, and cook covered over medium-low heat for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickened.
- If needed, add a little water or stock.
- Sprinkle with cheese, cover for 2 minutes to melt it, and serve with fresh herbs.

Tips
- Don't boil the pasta first: the uncooked pasta absorbs the sauce, which is what gives it flavour.
- Stir regularly, because the pasta easily catches on the bottom.
- You can swap the beef for turkey or lentils.
- It keeps for 3 days in the fridge, but the pasta absorbs the sauce, so add a little water when reheating.
