Skillet Cheesy Beef Pasta

This pasta was an excellent warm meal that was fairly easy to put together.  My oldest loved it and took what was left to school the next day for lunch.  That's always a good sign, he's a pretty picky eater who is slowly branching out! This recipe is from Whole and Heavenly Oven.


1 lb pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 onion (chopped)
3 garlic cloves
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 cup water
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp parsley

Boil the pasta according to the directions.  In a skillet cook the ground beef, onion and garlic until the meat is cooked through, drain off the excess grease. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, water, italian seasoning, salt and pepper. When it begins to bubble add the drained pasta. Turn the heat down to low and top with cheese and cover.  Let sit for 5-10  minutes then turn remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
