Cooking Steps
Before starting, add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash and dry all produce. Thinly slice mushrooms. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms soften, 5-6 min.
While mushrooms cook, peel, then mince or grate garlic. When mushrooms have softened, add mirepoix, Italian Seasoning and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until mirepoix softens slightly, 2-3 min.
While veggies cook, add rigatoni to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return rigatoni to the same pot, off heat.
When mirepoix has softened, add beef to the pan. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller shreds, until warmed through, 2-3 min.**
Add crushed tomatoes and reserved pasta water to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-5 min. When sauce is thickened, remove the pan from heat, then add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Stir to combine.
Add sauce to the pot with rigatoni, then toss to combine. Divide rigatoni between bowls. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
