If you love a good slow-braised ragu but never have the time to make one, this is a dish you must try. Starting with a decent cut of meat and working in a skillet to reduce cooking time, you can get wonderful flavor even on a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp. olive oil
- 2 cups spiral pasta
- 10 oz. spinach, chopped
- 1 lb. round tip beef steaks, cubed
- 1 (14 oz.) can seasoned chunky tomatoes, undrained
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Toss beef with garlic and oil. Set aside.
- Cook pasta according to package directions, adding spinach to water during last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain well.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry beef until outside is seared and no pink remains.
- Drain excess fat from the pan and add the tomatoes. Cook over medium-high heat until sauce is thickened. Add pasta to sauce, toss to coat. Cook until heating through, then serve hot, garnished with cheese.
