45 ml olive oil 3 tbsp
500 ml onions, chopped 2 cup
15 ml garlic clove, chopped 1 tbsp
500 g lean ground beef 1 lb
3 ml dried red pepper, crushed 3/4 tsp
1.5 L beef broth 6 cup
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can tomato sauce
500 g small shell pasta or elbow macaroni 1 lb
Heat oil in heavy pot over medium-high heat; add onions and garlic; saute 5 minutes. Add meat and red pepper. Saute until meat is no longer pink, breaking up large pieces, about 5 minutes. Add broth, beans and tomato sauce; bring to a boil. Mix in pasta. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until pasta is just tender but still firm to bite, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper.
