This easy beef-and-pasta dish features a creamy sauce that's sure to satisfy. Use any short pasta-ziti or rotini also work. Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked penne (tube-shaped pasta) |
cooking spray |
1 pound ground sirloin |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 1/2 cups chopped onion |
5 garlic cloves, minced |
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
2 cups fat-free milk |
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained |
1/2 cup (4 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese |
1 (3-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley |
Directions:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add beef to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Remove beef from pan; drain. Wipe pan clean with paper towels. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add beef; sprinkle with salt. Add flour; cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in milk, tomatoes, and cream cheeses, stirring until smooth; bring to a simmer. Cook 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Stir in pasta.
