Easy Ground Beef & Bowtie Pasta

By Joan_Z

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb Lean ground beef
• 1 14 oz can Beef broth
• 1 14 oz can Italian style diced tomatoes
• 2 cups Uncooked Farfalle (bow tie) pasta
• 2 cups Sliced Zucchini (cut 1/4 inch thick)
• 3/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese - divided

Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, over medium/high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking up into 3/4 inch pieces. Remove beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Pour off the drippings.

Return the skillet to the heat and add the beef broth, tomatoes, and pasta. Stir to coat all of the pasta. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium.

Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Add zucchini and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes or until pasta is tender.

Return beef to the skillet and stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese. Heat through. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each serving.
