Nonetheless, I was playing around with my iphone applications and found an interesting (plus super easy) pasta recipe. It's called Greek-Style Skillet Supper. So I thought, why not post this one for all of you busy people out there?
I found the recipe on www.mccormick.com and used the keyword "cinnamon". It is interesting that ground cinnamon is used in the recipe and it really made a whole lot difference.
I used macaroni style pasta, not penne and it still came out great. It was absolutely super easy and quick. The "greek-ness" could easily be identified through the mix of spices and the use of feta cheese. Better yet, you have everything you need in one dish; your carbs, protein and fiber. Yummy!
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons Oregano Leaves
1 teaspoon Cinnamon, Ground
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) reduced sodium beef broth
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 1/2 cups frozen leaf spinach or cut green beans, thawed
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
Directions:
1. Cook ground beef and onion in large skillet on medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain fat. Add oregano, cinnamon and garlic powder; mix well.
2. Stir in broth, tomatoes and tomato paste. Bring to boil. Stir in pasta. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook 10 minutes or until pasta is nearly tender. Stir in spinach and 1/2 cup of the feta cheese. Cover. Cook 5 minutes longer or until pasta is tender.
3. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup feta cheese. Cover. Let stand 5 minutes.
