How to Make One-Pan Pasta

  4. Incorporate Tomato Paste: Stir in tomato paste and cook for another minute.
  5. Brown the Beef: Add lean ground beef, breaking it apart and cooking until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Mix in Pasta and Broth: Add tubetti pasta and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer.
  7. Cook the Pasta: Let everything simmer for about 12-14 minutes, stirring frequently.
