Instructions
On medium-high heat, in a non-stick skillet, add in the ground beef.
Let the meat brown on one side, before seasoning with salt and breaking up the beef into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Add in the onion and garlic and saute until soften.
Add in the pesto and can of crushed tomatoes.
Stir to combine and let simmer while you bring a pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
Check the pasta box to see how long to cook until al dente and cook for 1 minute less than that.
When done, drain the pasta and combine it with the meat sauce.
Once combined, portion out the pasta into the individual containers, I layer cheese in the middle and on top.
Let cool before covering and storing in the freezer.
If eating immediately, bake at 400F for 20-25 minutes.
