How to Make Beefy Cheesy Pasta

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Meanwhile, cook 1 lb pasta (penne, rigatoni, or your favorite shape) according to package directions.
  6. Stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese into the beef sauce until melted and smooth.
  7. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the beef sauce. Toss to coat.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
