This is a super quick pasta dish that the whole family loves. I often make a double portion of the sauce for the next day. Then I serve the sauce on top of the pasta instead of mixing it all together at once.

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

1 pound penne or other pasta of your choice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained, liquid reserved
1 medium leek, cleaned and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons mild curry powder
1 tablespoon instant vegetable bouillon granules
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup ketchup
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet. Add ground beef and cook, stirring, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add drained pineapple chunks and leek and cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Pour in about 1/2 of the pineapple juice. Season with curry powder, bouillon, salt, and pepper.
Stir in ketchup and tomato paste until well combined. Cover and simmer over low heat, 5 to 8 minutes. If sauce seems dry, add more pineapple juice.
Pour in cream and mix to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes.
Drain pasta and add to the skillet with the sauce. Mix well and serve.
