Grown up Hamburger Helper

 I didn't intend for this to be a nostalgic version of a childhood favorite but here we are!

 

Ingredients:

1lb Ground Pork

1 box of medium shells

28oz can of crushed tomato with basil

small yellow onion

two cloves chopped garlic

2-3 tablespoons capers

salt

pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

oregano

grated parmesan romano cheese

You can used ground beef in place of the ground pork but I feel the pork gives an extra flavor.

Start by cooking your ground meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add in a small diced yellow onion and two cloves of chopped garlic. Once the meat is cooked through and the onions translucent add a can of crushed tomatoes with basil. Add additional salt, pepper and garlic powder to your liking. Add a teaspoon or two of crushed oregano and two heaping tablespoons of capers.

Boil your pasta according to the package directions, drain and mix with the meat and sauce mixture. Add in three tablespoons of grated romano parmesan and toss.
