Lean Ground Beef (or Chicken) Ragu

I love this Italian inspired dish. It is full of complete protein on the bed of great tasting whole-wheat pasta. It takes a bit of time to cook but once you put all ingredients into the pan, it cooks itself. Give it a try and use either lean beef or ground chicken or turkey breast for the sauce.

Prep Instructions

1. Cook whole-wheat pasta in boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Check it during cooking not to overcooked it. When al dente, drain the water, cool it in cold fresh water and set aside.

2. Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the meat until slightly brown for around 5 minutes.

3. Add chopped fresh thyme, a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well in the pan.

4. Pour in the tomatoes and the tomato paste. Mix well.

5. Cover the lid and cook on low heat for 3- min.
