Beef Ragu with Penne Pasta image

I have substituted other pasta in this meal for the penne. Macaroni works good or spiral pasta. This quick little meal has got me through when I didn't have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. Serve with garlic french bread and a green salad and you're ready to go.
