    Ingredients
    Serves 6
    QuantityIngredientAdd
    1 tbsp. Hy-Vee cooking oil
    1 c. chopped onion
    1 lbs. ground beef
    1 (28 oz) can Hy-Vee diced tomatoes, drained
    1 ⅜ tsp. Hy-Vee salt
    ½ c. pesto
    1 ½ c. Hy-Vee shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
    ¼ c. Hy-Vee parmesan cheese, divided
    1 (12 oz) package low-carb elbow macaroni, uncooked

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
    2. In a large skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes.
    3. Stir in the ground beef and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
    4. Add the tomatoes and salt to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates, about 10 minutes.
    5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the pesto.
    6. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with the sauce.
    7. Put half of the pasta into the prepared baking dish and top with half the mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan.
    8. Repeat with the remaining pasta, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
    9. Bake until bubbling, about 15 minutes.
