No need to boil the pasta separately for this easy, one-dish dinner. Just stir the dry pasta into the gently boiling ground meat mixture. In just a few minutes, dinner will be ready to serve.

• 1/2 pound (8 oz.) lean ground beef or ground turkey
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 3 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth or reduced-sodium beef broth
• 1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
• 2 teaspoons dry Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 8 ounces dry whole grain penne pasta, rotini pasta or elbow macaroni

1. In large saucepan, cook ground beef (or turkey) and onion until the meat is no longer pink, stirring frequently to break meat into bite-sized pieces. Drain off any fat, carefully keeping meat in saucepan and pouring off any liquid.

2. Stir in broth, tomato paste, Italian seasoning and pepper. Bring to boiling over high heat.

3. Gradually add pasta, a little at a time, stirring constantly. Return meat mixture to boiling. Reduce heat slightly.

4. Gently boil, uncovered, for 17 to 20 minutes or until pasta is tender and mixture is as thick as desired, stirring frequently.

5. Ladle onto 4 serving bowls or plates.
