Linguine with Savory Meat Sauce
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 20 min.
Cook Time: 25 min.

1 pound ground beef
1 large onion, minced (about 1 cup)
4 large carrots, diced (about 2 cups)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
(Regular *or* 98% Fat Free)
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
1 package (16 ounces) linguine, cooked and drained
Grated Parmesan cheese

1. Cook the beef, onion, carrots and garlic in a 12-inch skillet over
medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring often to
separate meat. Pour off any fat.

2. Stir the tomatoes with juice, soup and water in the skillet and heat
to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Stir in the basil.

3. Place the linguine into a large bowl. Add the beef mixture and toss
to coat. Serve with the cheese.

/Time-Saving*:*/ You may substitute *2 cups* shredded carrots for the
diced carrots in this recipe. Pre-shredded carrots are available in the
produce section or salad bar of most grocery stores.
Makes: 6 servings (about 1 1/2 cups each).

substitutes.
