This Pasta with Beef and Herbs combines tender beef with aromatic herbs, creating a dish that's both hearty and flavorful. It's a comforting meal perfect for any occasion, showcasing the simplicity and richness of kosher ingredients.

Ingredients

• Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine) - 200 grams
• Ground beef (kosher) - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 3 cloves
• Onion (chopped) - 1 medium
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh basil (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes (optional) - 1/4 teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese (grated, optional) - 30 grams

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the chopped parsley, basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the beef and herb mixture.
7. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
