Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb penne, uncooked
1 -1 1/2 lb ground beef
2 finely minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups smooth tomato sauce (not chunky)
1 pinch black pepper
fresh basil
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups tex mex cheese or 8 slices processed cheese
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook penne until done; rinse and drain.
  • Meanwhile, brown ground beef in large skillet; remove from pan and drain. In same skillet, sauté garlic (and mush rooms) in olive oil. Return meat to skillet with mush rooms over low heat; add tomato sauce, pepper, and basil.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in 3 tablespoons milk; mix in remaining milk. Add to meat and stir over low heat until slightly thickened. Add processed cheese slices and stir until melted. Toss with hot pasta. Sprinkle generously with parmesan.
  • You can replace the penne with fusilli or elbow macaroni. Use just about any kind of cheese you want. Tex mex worked very well.
