I’m not a fan of cooking for just myself, but a girl has to eat, right? I was checking out my freezer Sunday night trying to plan my dinners for the week so I could stop by the grocery store and get the needed vegetables and essentials needed to complete what meats the freezer presented. I had a pound a ground buffalo that the man-love likes to make burgers or chili with. I wasn’t feeling either of those meals but wondered how the meat would taste as a meat sauce for pasta. The answer – awesome!
Buffalo meat is also better for you than beef. You get more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and fat. To read more about the health benefits check out these posts:
I work. So meals during the week need to be fast after a full day on the joby job and a stop to get my fitness on after. This is one of those not fancy, quick fix meals.
First I sautéed an onion with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. After the onions turned translucent I added the buffalo meat to brown with a little dried oregano. Once the meat was cooked through I added a jar of my favorite pasta sauce. I had some ricotta cheese in the fridge so I tossed a hefty scoop of that in the sauce as well. While the pasta boiled the sauce simmered. In less than thirty minutes I was enjoying my meal.
The beauty was I had enough pasta left over for lunch the next day and there was enough sauce for me to use it later in the week over ravioli.
