INGREDIENTS
2 cups 6 oz uncooked rotini pasta (use brown rice pasta for GF)
2 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lb lean ground beef, 95% lean
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
28 oz diced tomatoes
2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
2 cups reduced-fat grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente and drain well.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Stir in the beef and cook until browned; season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the tomato paste, then add the tomatoes and mustard. Let the mixture bubble gently until it is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

Top with the cheddar and bake until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the chopped pickles over the top and serve.
