Macaroni and Meat

Ingredients

• 8 oz macaroni
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 15 oz tomato sauce
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 8 oz macaroni and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, heat the 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 lb ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Season with the 1 tsp salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Pour in the 15 oz tomato sauce and stir to combine. Let simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. 5

   Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes until heated through.

6. 6

   Serve hot, topped with diced cucumber for a fresh crunch.
