Macaroni and Meat

What you will need:
about 1 Lb Ground Turkey, Chicken, or Beef
3 cups (dried) of Elbow Pasta - Cooked
1 finely Diced Onion
1 finely Diced Green or Red Pepper
1 finely diced carrot
2 finely diced stalks of celery
1 clove Garlic Crushed
1 can diced Tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
1 cup Mozzerella cheese shredded
Parmesean Cheese
Olive Oil

This was one of the first meals that we had and shared with Freddie. It made for some fun pictures of baby in Tomato Sauce, but over all it was a hit. I think Mommy and Daddy enjoyed this the most! When dicing veggies dice should be about 1/2 a cenimeter square.

In a large Dutch oven or pot heat 1 tbsp of oil on medium heat. Add onion, garlic, Pepper, Carrot, and celery. Cook until onions are translucent and soft. Add ground meat of your choice to pan and break up with spatula cook until browned and pieces are well broken up. Add Tomato paste and diced tomatoes (not drained). Stir until well mixed with Meat. Add cooked pasta to mixture and coat. Add mozzerella Cheese and allow to melt. Serve topped with Parmesean Cheese.
