Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 cups beef broth (32 oz)
  • 6 oz tomato paste
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 oz uncooked Reginetti pasta
  • ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your pot over low to medium heat to help prevent the hamburger from sticking. Once the skillet is preheated add the hamburger and saute until brown.
  • Once the beef is browned drain off excess grease. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
  • Add the dry uncooked pasta. Stir the pasta in.
  • Immediately add the milk. Stir the milk in until everything is well combined ensuring that all of the pasta is under the liquid. Place the lid on the pot and cook over low heat allowing the pasta to simmer approximately 10 minutes or until the pasta is done. (Do NOT cook the pasta over a higher temperature it will cause the milk to curdle.)
  • Once the pasta is fully cooked add in the grated cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese. Allow to melt stirring occasionally.
  • When the cheese is melted and fully incorporated allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
