Now, let’s dive into the steps to prepare Beef Pasta in Tomato Sauce. Follow these simple instructions for a delectable meal:

1. Cook Pasta: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add salt and then the pasta. Cook until al dente according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.

1. Sauté Onion and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until soft. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

1. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, which should take about 5-7 minutes.

1. Add Tomatoes and Spices: Once the beef is browned, stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

1. Combine Pasta and Sauce: After the sauce has simmered, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

1. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.

1. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnishing each plate with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves if desired.
