Ingredients
-
1 pound lean ground beef
-
salt and pepper to taste
-
½ onion
-
1 green bell pepper
-
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
-
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
-
1 tablespoon dried oregano
-
20 cherry tomatoes
-
1 (12 ounce) package linguine pasta
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add linguine pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until almost cooked; about 10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Using a food processor, chop the onion finely. Wash it out and then put in the bell pepper. It should turn to liquid. That's the surprise!
-
Add tomato paste, garlic, onions, oregano, and bell pepper juice to the browned beef. Allow it to settle a little bit, folding it all together. Add the tomatoes and cover; simmer for another 15 minutes. With a fork or spatula crush the tomatoes and blend the juice into the sauce; continue simmering for about 10 more minutes. Serve over cooked pasta.
