Instructions

Cook the penne pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft. Add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
-
Add the ground beef, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the sauce coats the pasta evenly.

Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of ricotta or a splash of milk. You can also include spinach, mushrooms, or peas for added nutrition. If reheating, add a bit of broth to loosen the sauce.
