A flavorful one-pan meal featuring pasta, ground beef, and bell peppers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 bell peppers any color, diced
  • ½ yellow onion, diced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 24 oz pasta sauce, jarred
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups bowtie pasta (farfalle), cooked
  • shredded cheese, optional, for garnish
  • parsley, optional, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bowtie pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart and cook until fully browned, then drain off any excess grease.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, just until fragrant. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the pasta sauce and stir everything together. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss until the pasta is evenly coated and everything is well mixed.
  7. Serve hot straight from the skillet. If desired, garnish with shredded cheese and/or chopped parsley.

Notes

  • This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated.
  • For a healthier version, substitute ground beef with ground turkey or a plant-based meat alternative.
