Steps

1. In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions.

4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Allow to simmer for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the beef and tomato mixture. Toss well to combine.
6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
