Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
  • 1 pound ground pork

  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Transfer individual portions of cooled pasta mixture to freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little tomato sauce if necessary.

Ground Pork Recipe Tips

What else is ground pork good for?

There are many ground pork recipes to try! We especially love these Beef 'n' Pork Burgers and Ginger Pork Lettuce Wraps.

Is ground pork healthier than ground beef?

Ground pork and ground beef are both pretty high in fat. (Let's be real, that's part of why they taste so good!) Ground pork can have a little less saturated fat and cholesterol than ground beef. But if you're truly looking for a healthier alternative, try ground turkey.

How long does ground pork last in the fridge?

Ground pork doesn't last long! Use it within 1 or 2 days before it goes bad.

What variations can I try for this ground pork recipe?

Try swapping ground Italian sausage or ground turkey for the pork. You can also add seasonal vegetables (such as spinach, broccoli or eggplant) and experiment with different pasta shapes.
