• 8 ounces mushrooms, finely chopped or pulsed in a food processor
• ½ cup diced onion
• 1 15-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 8 ounces whole-wheat rotini or fusilli
• ½ cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup chopped fresh basil for garnish

Preparation steps

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound beef, mushrooms and onion and cook, stirring, until the beef is no longer pink and the mushroom liquid is mostly evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Stir in 15 ounces tomato sauce, 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
3. Add 8 ounces pasta. Bring to a boil.
4. Cover, reduce heat and cook, stirring once or twice, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 16 to 18 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the pasta with ½ cup cheese, cover and cook until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more.
6. Garnish with ¼ cup basil, if desired.
