  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 4 cups prepared spaghetti or pasta sauce
  • 2 cups loosely packed fresh baby arugula, about 1 3/4 ounces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef and garlic; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings. Return beef to skillet; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in pasta sauce. Set aside.
