Easy Baked Pasta with Ground Beef

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

In a large oven safe skillet, add pasta and water. Make sure there is enough water in the pan to cover the pasta. Cook for about 7 minutes then add broccoli florets. Cook for an additional 3 minutes or until most of the water is absorbed.

Meanwhile in a separate pan, heat oil and brown the meat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add ground beef to the pasta dish and mix. Add about ½ cup of shredded cheese. Pour sauce over the beef and pasta and top with remaining shredded cheese.

Cover and bake for about 8 minutes, until cheese has melted. The sauce should be bubbling heated through. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
