Penne with meat sauce the easy way! If I planned my prep day well, I would have some ground beef browned with onions and garlic in the fridge. That little prep makes it easy to put together little meals in the ELB.
This is one such meal. As usual, easy to prepare, one bowl, and you just basically put everything in and press the steam button! Love my ELB!
*I have not used this lunchbox at work though, as I work in a laboratory and we cannot eat on our work desk (we call them bench). We have a cafeteria in our building, and some seats and tables outdoors, and that’s where everyone eats. I am not sure I want to leave the ELB unattended when it is not close by. However, I have used the ELB a lot at home to prepare small amounts of food, and of course, desserts!*

1/3 – 1/2 cup cooked ground beef (I just saute in garlic and onions until browned)
3 mushrooms, chopped
1 tablespoon diced celery
1 tablespoon diced onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
3/4 cup penne pasta
120 ml marinara sauce
160 ml water
120 ml water for base
Place the beef, mushrooms, celery, onion, garlic powder in the bottom big bowl. Add in the penne, marinara sauce and 160 ml water. Stir to mix. Cover with foil and set on the base of the ELB.
Place 120 ml water in the base, cover and let steam until done, about 55 minutes.
Carefully open the lunchbox and stir the pasta. Check the doneness of the pasta. Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.

Are you able to make pasta for 3 people with the itaki pro
Probably not 3, but enough for me and my son. My husband could eat the whole thing. The Pro is basically for 1 big eater (or maybe 2 light eaters). The jumbo can feed 2 easily.
