This food blog goes out Liz Clausen who requested this recipe.
Inspired by meeting Elizabeth Gillbert, the witty author of Eat, Pray, Love, I decided to take my mom's classic Goulash recipe and doctor it up to be a little more italian. (I also had to sneak in the fresh basil and mozzarella that I had just bought...) This is a quick and hearty meal that is sure to please.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups pasta- I used rigatoni here
- 1 quart stewed plum tomatoes- diced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
- A few fresh mozzarella pearls
- A few leaves of fresh basil- diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt as needed
Directions
- Bring water to boil and add in pasta and cook as directed then drain.
- In large saucepan brown ground chuck, drain.
- Stir pasta and browned grounds beef together with tomatoes, garlic, pepper, basil, macaroni and mozzarella.
- Eat and be happy.
sidebar: how rad is it that she signed my new cookbook!? I love that she wrote Eat, Eat, Eat! I loved meeting her. I told her my favorite parts of her book was the food (the pizza in Italy to be specific) and how I long to go to Italy! She signed my cookbook and said I hope you do go!
This is my secret photo of her that I took with my cell phone. I was super disappointed that her table had a bunch of signs that said 'no photos'...so being the rebelrouser I am- I snuck this one.
