  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1 (8 oz) package whole grain penne pasta, cooked and drained
  • 1 ½ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large Dutch oven, brown ground beef. Add onion and cook over low heat about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add in garlic and cook an additional 2 minutes; stirring often.
