Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lbs ground beef
- ¼ cup gochujang paste
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 8 oz rigatoni
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 cups milk or almond milk/other unsweetened milk of choice
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add in the minced garlic and finely diced onion and saute for 4 minutes until beginning to soften and then add in the ground beef. Use a wooden spoon to break the beef up into a crumbly texture as it cooks.
- After approximately 5 minutes the beef will no longer be pink, add in the tomato paste and gochujang paste and stir around so the beef is well coated. Add in the pasta, beef stock and milk and leave to simmer on medium heat for approximately 15-20 minutes until the rigatoni is tender and the sauce is thick and creamy.
