This is a hearty pasta dish that cooks up relatively quickly. The addition of beans and a mirepoix to the pasta mixture provides some nice flavors.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Gather your ingredients
* Step 2
Cook the penne al dente according to the package directions. Drain, but do not rinse the pasta
* Step 3
Prepare the vegetables:
🔪 Finely chop the onion, celery, and carrots.
🔪 Mince the garlic.
🔪 Finely chop the parsley.
* Step 4
Fry the ground beef in a small amount of olive oil until browned. Drain the fat, and transfer to a large pot.
* Step 5
Pour the undrained diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine into the pot as well. Begin heating over medium low heat.
* Step 6
Fry the onion, celery, and carrots in the same pan that was used to fry the beef. Add a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Fry until the veggies are softened, then add the garlic and spices. Continue frying for another few minutes until fragrant.
* Step 7
Transfer the veggies to the large pot, add salt, and simmer for about 10 minutes uncovered, stirring frequently.
* Step 8
Add the pasta, beans, Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of the Italian cheese blend to the pot. Stir well until the cheese melts, then remove from heat.
* Step 9
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with baking spray (e.g. Pam)
* Step 10
Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared pan and top with the remaining Italian blend cheese.
* Step 11
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until cheese is lightly browned.
* Step 12
Tips:
👉🏻 Crumbled sweet Italian sausage can be used instead of beef.
👉🏻 I prefer to use whole wheat penne.
