1 lb (450 g) 96/4 extra-lean ground beef
450 g
8 oz (225 g) chickpea elbows or shells
225 g
1 small onion (120 g), diced
120 g
3 cloves garlic, minced
9 g
2 Tbsp (30 g) tomato paste
30 g
2½ Tbsp (40 g) no-sugar-added ketchup
40 g
1 Tbsp (15 g) yellow mustard
15 g
2⅓ cups (550 g) low-sodium broth
550 g
½ cup (120 g) unsweetened almond milk
120 g
¼ cup (60 g) chopped dill pickles, to top
60 g
1 tsp smoked paprika + ½ tsp onion powder + ¾ tsp salt
5 g
Method
- Brown the beef with the onion in a deep 12" skillet over medium-high, about 6 minutes; add garlic, tomato paste, and spices for the last minute.
- Pour in the broth and almond milk, scrape the bottom clean, and stir in the dry pasta so it's submerged.
- Simmer uncovered, stirring every few minutes, 9–11 minutes until the pasta is just tender and the liquid is saucy.
- Off heat, stir in the “cheese” sauce, ketchup, and mustard until everything is glossy orange nostalgia.
- Bowl it and top with chopped pickles. They cut the richness exactly like they do on a burger.
