QUICK CURRY PASTA WITH GROUND BEEF AND PINEAPPLE



Quick Curry Pasta with Ground Beef and Pineapple image

This is a super quick pasta dish that the whole family loves. I often make a double portion of the sauce for the next day. Then I serve the sauce on top of the pasta instead of mixing it all together at once.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound penne or other pasta of your choice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained, liquid reserved
1 medium leek, cleaned and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons mild curry powder
1 tablespoon instant vegetable bouillon granules
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup ketchup
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Add ground beef and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add drained pineapple chunks and leek and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Pour in about 1/2 of the pineapple juice. Season with curry powder, bouillon, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir in ketchup and tomato paste until well combined. Cover and simmer over low heat, 5 to 8 minutes. If sauce seems dry, add more pineapple juice.
  • Pour in cream and mix to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Drain pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce. Mix well and serve.

APPLES AND GROUND BEEF PASTA



Apples and Ground Beef Pasta image

Wasn't sure what to call this. This recipe first came to me from my sister-in-law who said she got it from Weight Watchers. She didn't have exact measurements for most items though so I've worked it into how we like it. It's a lovely dish for cold nights with lovely spicy sweet flavors to compliment the savory meat.
