Skillet Tomato Beef Pasta

I made this last night for my daughter and her family.  She is expecting twins in a few short weeks and wasn't up to making dinner, so I put this together very quickly.  She said it was good.  It comes from the Del Monte site: http://www.delmonte.com/recipes/detail.aspx?id=561.  I did top it with cojack cheese instead of  Parmesan.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz.) Del Monte® French Style Green Beans-No Salt Added, drained

  • 1 can (14.5 oz.) Del Monte® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano-No Salt Added

  • 6 oz. dried pasta (such as penne, spirals or macaroni), uncooked

  • 1 lb. lean ground beef or ground turkey

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • (Optional) salt

  • (Optional) pepper

  • (Optional) parsley

  • (Optional) Parmesan cheese


  • Directions

    1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well.
    2. Brown beef and onion in large skillet while pasta is cooking; drain.
    3. Add beans and undrained tomatoes; mix well. Add pasta and heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
