Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 med onion, diced
- 1 zucchini, shredded I use a box grater
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 lb short cut pasta I used cavatappi
- 6 cups chicken or beef broth use whatever you have on hand
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- kosher salt
- fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- In a large pot or braiser, cook ground beef and onion until meat is browned and cooked through. Season with all-purpose seasoning and add tomato paste, cooking for another minute or so to combine flavors.
- Add zucchini and pasta, tossing to combine. Add broth and milk. Bring mixture to a low boil and cook until pasta is cooked to just tender. Stir often.
- Turn heat down and sprinkle cheese into mixture, stirring until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy. This should just take a few more minutes.
- Divide into serving bowls and enjoy!
Notes
If you find that you need more liquid to cook the pasta, feel free to add more broth or milk. Somedays I feel like I need more or less depending on the exact shape of the pasta I use.
