Cooking instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), tomato paste, chicken broth, penne pasta, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until pasta is tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella, and cover for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm.
