Quick and Spicy Beef Penne

1 pound lean ground beef

1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)

2 medium carrots, diced (about 1 cup)

2 cups Pace® Picante Sauce

1/2 cup water

1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta, cooked and drained

3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

• Cook the beef, onion and carrots in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until the beef is well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
• Stir the picante sauce in the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding the water if needed until desired consistency.
• Place the penne and cilantro into a large bowl. Add the beef mixture and toss to coat.
