Quick Pasta With Ground Beef, Pineapple, And Curry-Cream Sauce

• 1 pound penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 pound ground beef
• 1 (16 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained and juice reserved
• 1 leek, trimmed and thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons mild curry powder
• 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
• 1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 6 tablespoons ketchup, or more to taste
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste, or more to taste
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

1. 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. Drain.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook ground beef until browned and crumbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Add pineapple and leek and cook over high heat for 5 minutes. Pour in a few tablespoons of the pineapple juice. Season with curry, chicken granules, salt, and pepper.
3. Stir in ketchup and tomato paste and mix well. Cover skillet and simmer sauce over low heat for 5 to 8 minutes. Add more pineapple juice if sauce appears dry. Pour in cream and mix with drained penne.
