Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef strips
- 3 celery stalks diced
- 3 carrots sliced into circles
- ½ large onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- 1 ½ cups water
- 3 beef bouillon cubes
- 1 head cauliflower chopped into florets
- 8 oz Halloween shaped pasta
- fresh herbs for serving
- grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except for the cauliflower florets and Halloween shaped pasta to the slow cooker. Stir, cover and set to high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.
- When the time is complete, add the cauliflower florets, cover and slow cook for 30 minutes more.
- After the 30 minutes is done, add the Halloween shaped pasta. Mix well to submerge the pasta in the broth, adding additional broth or water as necessary to ensure the pasta is submerged. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Transfer the stew to a serving dish immediately, so as not to overcook the pasta. Serve topped with fresh green herbs and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Notes
Storing: store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 7 days. This recipe can be frozen for up to 6 months, but the pasta will become very soft.
