Ingredients

8 ounces pasta of choice I used orecchiette, but you can use any small-shaped pasta, including elbow macaroni
1 pound lean ground beef
2 cloves garlic minced
1 packet/envelope 1 ounce onion soup mix
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup frozen green peas kept frozen until ready to use
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for serving.
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water.
Meanwhile, brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the onion soup mix, tomato paste, and 1 cup of the reserved pasta water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Fold in the cooked pasta, peas, and parmesan cheese and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. If desired, add some or all of the remaining pasta water to thin the sauce.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve with extra parmesan cheese on the side.
