Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 2 cups beef stock
- 2 cups anellini, ring or ditalini pasta
- 2 cans tomato sauce 15 oz. each
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Place the beef stock in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, bring 8 cups of water to boil in a separate large pan. Once boiling, add the pasta to the water and cook according to package directions or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, using a rounded teaspoon to measure, form the ground beef into small meatballs. Once the beef stock comes to a boil, add the meatballs and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through. Drain the liquid. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, add the tomato sauce, milk, salt, oregano, garlic powder, onion, powder, and paprika. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes to combine the flavors. Add the cooked and drained pasta and meatballs. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer less sauce, you can use less of the second can of tomato sauce.
- You can use other small shapes of pasta in place of the anellini (ring) pasta or ditalini.
