GLUTEN-FREE CHILI BEEF PASTA

Gluten-Free Chili Beef Pasta image

After I got married, my aunt gave me her recipe for skillet spaghetti and told me it was ideal for a quick weeknight meal. Over the years I've tinkered with the ingredients and played with the seasonings to make it healthier. It's a dish my family truly loves. -Kristen Killian, Depew, New York
