Hamburger Hearts Pasta

Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 15 mins | Course: Dinner | Serves: 6

Burger and mozzarella cheese star in this creamy tomato sauce with cute heart-shaped pasta that I found at Trader Joe’s. Perfect for Valentine’s Week❣️

1 onion, diced

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 lb ground hamburger

3 cloves garlic, minced

Salt, garlic salt, and pepper, to taste

1 16-oz can fire-roasted tomatoes

1 cup heavy cream

8 oz cream cheese

1 cup mozzarella cheese

2-3 cups fresh spinach

1 lb heart pasta, cooked per package directions 

2 green onions, chopped

Parmesan cheese, grated

In a preheated skillet, stir onion and olive oil until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add hamburger, garlic, and seasonings, stirring for about 3 minutes until the hamburger is mostly cooked. Add tomatoes, heavy cream, and cream cheese. When the sauce comes together, add the cooked pasta hearts, mozzarella cheese, and spinach, stirring until just incorporated and the spinach wilts, about 1 minute. Ladle into pasta bowls, and garnish with green onions and Parmesan cheese.
