Savor a Greek-inspired dinner with this hearty beef and pasta dish featuring flavorful Muir Glen® organic diced tomatoes with garlic and onion.
Ingredients:
  • 8 oz uncooked bucatini rigati pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef round
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped onion
  • 2 cans (14.5 oz each) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg or 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese (5 oz)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and generously coat a 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Prepare the pasta according to package instructions, ensuring to cook it for the minimum recommended time.
  • In a 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef and onion for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is fully cooked and onion is tender. Drain any excess oil. Add tomatoes, salt, and cinnamon. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, until heated through.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then stir in flour until smooth and bubbly. Increase heat to medium-high and slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly until the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg and 1/2 cup of cheese until melted. Gradually stir in beaten eggs until well blended. Arrange pasta in baking dish lengthwise, then top with beef mixture and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese and bake uncovered for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
