NOODLES WITH MEAT SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Add garlic and cook 1 minute or until fragrant. Add beef; cook 7 minutes or until beef is crumbled and no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Drain.
• Add pasta sauce to skillet; stir together. Simmer covered over medium-low heat 10 minutes or until hot. Serve meat sauce with spaghetti. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. Saute onions in small amount of olive oil until light brown. If using fresh garlic, dice up two cloves and put in with onions.
• 2. Once onions are soft and light brown, mix in meat, and sprinkle with Mrs Dash salt/pepper. Saute until brown.
• 3. Add in can of crushed tomatoes and can of tomato sauce and stir.
• 4. Simmer for 45 minutes at least. Taste and add more seasoning if needed.
• 5. Boil water for pasta and cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes. We like our pasta al dente (not too soft). Taste as you go.
• 6.When ready - strain - make sure all the water is gone. Put a little sauce on pasta so it does not stick. Keep the rest of the sauce in the bowl so you can each have as much as you want. A salad is a great side dish -- add grated parmesan if you like.
