Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground smoked beef
8 ounces pasta (any shape)
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1 cup grape juice
1 cup beef broth
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Melt butter in the same pot over medium heat; sauté onion and garlic until translucent, about 3‑4 minutes.
Add smoked beef, break up with a spoon, and brown for 5‑7 minutes; season with salt and pepper and drain excess fat if needed.
Stir in diced tomatoes, grape juice, and beef broth; bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, adding pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Return the cooked pasta to the pot, sprinkle half of the shredded cheese, and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes glossy.
Turn off heat, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, cover for 1‑2 minutes to melt, then serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley.
