• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 15 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 ounces dried penne pasta (2/3 cup)

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 ounces ground beef

¼ cup chopped onions

1 clove garlic (, minced)

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

½ cup tomato sauce

¼ cup sour cream

½ cup + 2 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese (, for topping)

Directions

Cook the pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside.

Heat oven to 350° F (177° C).

In a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil 30 seconds. Add ground beef, onions, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking the ground beef up with a spoon or spatula until the meat is cooked through and no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer ground beef and vegetables to a medium-sized bowl.

Stir in the tomato sauce, sour cream, cooked pasta, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.

Pour into a baking dish lightly greased with butter or oil. Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Remove from oven and serve immediately.
