Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ yellow onion, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 lb ground beef
2 teaspoons McCormick® dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon McCormick® black pepper

½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
fresh basil leaf, for garnish

Steps:

Add ground beef, McCormick® Dried Oregano, salt, and pepper to the center of the pan, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Let the beef sit undisturbed for a moment so the beef browns slightly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until almost no pink remains.
  • Add tomato paste to the pan and stir to combine. Add crushed tomatoes and chicken stock to skillet. Bring to a boil and add noodles to skillet, stirring so noodles are submerged. Lower heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook for about 10 minutes, until noodles are al dente.
