Instructions

1 Cook the penne pasta as specified on the package, ensuring to reserve 1 cup of
the pasta water before draining. After draining, place the pasta back in the
pot.
2 In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, seasoning
with salt and Italian herbs. Allow it to sear for 4-5 minutes without stirring
to create a nice crust.
3 Break up the beef and continue cooking until fully browned, approximately 3-5
minutes. Drain off any excess grease if necessary.
4 Add the diced onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they
become soft and fragrant.
5 Stir in the tomato puree and Worcestershire sauce, mixing thoroughly. Add the
diced tomatoes with juice and let everything cook for an additional 1-2 minutes
to heat through.
6 Add the heavy cream, stirring briefly before letting it cook for around 30
seconds. Then, mix in the cheddar cheese until melted and creamy.
7 Combine the cheese beef mixture with the cooked pasta in the pot and stir well
to meld the flavors.
8 To achieve a silkier sauce, gradually incorporate reserved pasta water, 2-4
tablespoons at a time. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as
desired.
