Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
- Season with salt, pepper and Zesty Garlic Blend.
- While beef cooks, add penne to the boiling water.
- Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Add broth concentrate, crushed tomatoes, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar to the pan with beef.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce starts to thicken, 6-8 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cut tomatoes into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Drain, then finely chop olives.
- Add tomatoes, olives and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a small bowl. (TIP: We love using extra virgin olive oil in this tapenade!)
- Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- When penne is tender, reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water.
- Strain penne, then return to the same pot, off heat.
- Add sauce, half the Parmesan and reserved pasta water to the pot.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Divide beef ragù between bowls, then top with olive tapenade.
