- 3 cups uncooked cavatappi
- 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
Instructions
- Place ground beef in a Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, breaking beef up as it cooks. Once beef is about halfway cooked, add onion. Cook 2 to 3 more minutes and add garlic. Cook 1 minute.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and salt. Simmer 10 minutes.
- Add water and cavatappi. Stir well to get the noodles submerged. Cook 10-12 minutes or until pasta is almost al dente.
