Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Warm olive oil in a large skillet (or large stock pot or dutch oven) over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and ground beef.
- Step 2
Sauté the onions and beef, breaking up the meat with the back of a wooden spoon as it browns. This takes about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Season with garlic powder, paprika, dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the tomato paste and stir to combine.
- Step 4
Add the broth, dairy free milk, and uncooked pasta. Give everything a big stir. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
- Step 5
Let pasta cook until al dente, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has absorbed, about 8-12 minutes.
- Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Add ½ cup extra broth or reserved pasta water if the noodles are looking too dry. For an ultra-creamy sauce, stir in 1 cup dairy free shredded cheese or ½ cup dairy free sour cream just before serving.
