Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (227 g) medium uncooked shells
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 pound (454 g) lean ground beef
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) chili powder
  • 1 (14 ounce (397 g)) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) beef broth
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut cream
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta shells until they are just firm to the bite, following the instructions on the package.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion for 5 minutes, allowing it to become slightly browned.
  3. Introduce the ground beef to the pan and cook until it is browned, making sure to break it apart with a spoon during cooking, which should take about 5 minutes. Remove most of the fat if there is too much.
  4. Mix in the minced garlic and chili powder, then pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Stir thoroughly and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes, reducing the heat to let it simmer gently without drying out the sauce.
  5. Blend in the coconut cream and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Allow the cream to heat through, then combine with the drained pasta shells. Serve without delay.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, substitute ground turkey for ground beef.
  • Add a hint of spiciness with a dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • Adjust the creaminess by increasing the amount of coconut cream to your preference.
