Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until onions are translucent.
  2. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in beef broth, tomato paste, coconut aminos, and Dijon mustard. Season with chili powder, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. For a creamier sauce, sprinkle gluten-free flour over the mixture and whisk thoroughly to combine. Cook for an additional minute.
  5. Add gluten-free pasta and stir well. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta is al dente.
  6. Once pasta is cooked, remove from heat. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm.
