Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb. lean ground beef
  • 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes
  • 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
  • ½ tsp. dried oregano
  • ½ tsp. dried basil
  • salt and pepper
  • 12 oz. whole-wheat elbow pasta
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ cups grated mozzarella cheese divided
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat olive oil in a large (5 quart) skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add beef and cook until browned, crumbling into small pieces.
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, and a little salt and pepper. Cook at a low simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
