- 1 lb. ground beef
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/2 onion, (finely diced)
- 2 cloves garlic, (minced)
- 1 lb. dry bite-sized pasta ((rigatoni, gemelli, macaroni, penne, bow tie pasta, etc))
- 2 1/2 cups beef broth (chicken broth okay)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Grated Parmesan cheese

- Dried chili flakes
Instructions
- 1
Heat a large deep skillet or Dutch oven pot over medium-high heat.
- 2
Add oil to the skillet and saute diced onions and minced garlic for about 1 minute.
- 3
Add ground beef to the pan and cook through, breaking up the ground beef as you mix it with the onions and garlic.

Add the dry pasta, broth, red wine, and water. Mix well and make sure pasta is completely submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan/pot and simmer for about 7-8 minutes, stirring the pasta halfway through.
- 5
Uncover the pan/pot and add the tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together well.

Continue to simmer uncovered until sauce has reduced and thickened into a sauce that coats all the pasta. If the pasta is not done yet and there is not enough liquid left in the pan, add another 1/2 cup of water or broth, stir well and continue to simmer until done, checking after 5 minutes.
