How to Make One Pot Penne Pasta Bake
Step 1
In a large pot sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, sauté onion on medium heat for 7 minutes, until the onion is translucent and starts to brown along the edges.
Step 2
Add ground beef and salt, breaking up the ground beef into chunks with a wooden spoon. Sauté beef for 3 minutes, then add diced tomatoes, broth and salsa.
Step 3
Turn heat to high while stirring to get ingredients to boil. Add penne and reduce heat to let pasta simmer while stirring occasionally, about 10-12 minutes, or until penne is fully cooked.
Step 4
During the last minute, stir in pinto beans. Remove from heat, stir and serve in bowls, add toppings as desired.
