Skillet Beef Pasta Caprese with Fire Roasted Tomatoes

This caprese-style ground beef skillet dinner is quick, easy and tasty!

Here’s a meal for those nights that you don’t want to bother but don’t want to compromise on taste!

It’s based off a caprese salad–mainly because I still had tons of fresh basil growing in pots from last summer. I try to overwinter my herbs, but alas most of them die. But I did want a chance to use as much as I could before they gave out.

One-pan dinner

Canned tomatoes were on my grocery list this particular week, and I noticed something I never had before–there’s a fire-roasted variety. I never tried them, so I bought them to see if they are better.

Of course fresh is always better, but in my northeast climate, they’ve long stopped growing in my garden! However, a good tasty tomato on the vine or Kumato brand would be very good in this too.

The canned fire-roasted were delicious though, and having them on the shelf of your pantry means you can make this dish on the spur of the moment.

It cooks all in one skillet, so there’s hardly any washing up to do afterwards–always an added benefit!

  • 1 tbs dehydrated onion

  • 1/2 tsp pepper
