Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)

- Cook your pasta as per the package instructions until al dente, ensuring you drain it well.
- Fold the drained pasta into the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is coated.

Notes
To make ahead, prepare the sauce a day in advance. Adjust cooking times for reheating pasta to maintain al dente texture.
