• Step 1: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
• Step 2: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
• Step 3: Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Step 4: Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
• Step 5: While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
• Step 6: Add the cooked pasta to the beef tomato sauce and toss to combine.
