Emma asked for Hamburger Helper last week, I almost fell over. But who can blame her? A happy talking hand and a catchy tune! I decided to make my own version tonight and wanted to share my recipe.
1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
8 oz. petite diced tomatoes, juices drained
1/2 C. fat-free half and half or non-fat milk
1/2 C. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 C. shredded 2% mozzarella cheese
2 C. dry elbow pasta (or any pasta)
2 basil leaves (optional)
Boil pasta in salted water. While pasta boils, brown beef and add garlic salt in a deep sided pan with a lid. After beef is cooked through, add drained diced tomatoes and half and half. Stir to combine and add Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Stir to combine, cover and lower heat to low. Continue cooking on low heat until pasta is cooked, about 10 minutes. Drain and add pasta to tomatoes and beef. Add basil leaves and season to taste before serving.
