Ingredients
Scale
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 lb ground beef
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 cups chicken broth
8 oz (1/2 lb) shell pasta (large sized shells work great here!)
3 cups chopped kale
1 cup grass-fed heavy cream
8 oz ricotta (optional, makes it creamier, but it’s still great without it!)
Instructions
- Prep the onion, mushrooms, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes as instructed.
- Preheat a 5 quart pot (or larger) to medium high heat with the avocado oil. Once preheated, add the diced onion and mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant. Stir occasionally.
- Add the minced garlic and the diced sun-dried tomatoes and cook another minute.
- Add the ground beef, 1 Tbsp italian seasoning, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper and cook about 5-8 minutes until cooked through, stirring and breaking it up to combine everything.
- Once the beef is cooked through, add the broth and another 1/2 tsp salt and turn the heat to high to bring the broth to a boil. Chop the kale up while you wait for it to boil.
- Once boiling, add the pasta shells and chopped kale and cook about 8-10 minutes until the noodles are cooked through (cooking time may depend on the brand).
- After the noodles are cooked through, add the heavy cream and ricotta (if using) and stir well to combine. Taste test, add salt if desired, and enjoy!
