I was surprised at how few recipes there were on here for ground beef and spinach with pasta, aside from lasagna and manicotti, so I made this up one night. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons oil |
1 onion, chopped |
250 g ground beef or 250 g ground pork |
2 (400 g) cans chopped tomatoes |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 teaspoons chili flakes |
salt and pepper, to taste |
10 ounces frozen spinach |
200 g tagliatelle pasta noodles (or other pasta) |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Saute the onion in a deep frying pan for 1-2 minutes, then add the ground beef.
2. Cook until beef is browned, then add the tomatoes, spices, salt and pepper to taste.
3. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then add the spinach and simmer 3-4 minutes more.
4. Adjust seasonings to taste.
5. Meanwhile, boil and drain the pasta according to directions on the package.
6. Combine the two and place in a baking tray.
7. Sprinkle the cheese over the top and bake in a hot oven until melted and the dish is pipping hot, about 5 minutes.
8. Serve with a salad and garlic bread.
