Spaghetti with Meat Sauce

Spaghetti with Meat Sauce    

Ingredients: 

Spaghetti pasta (If you haven’t tried Wheat Pasta yet, sister, you are missing out! Put it on your shopping list)  

1 lb ground beef (or 1/2 lb Ground beef, 1/2 lb Italian sausage)

24 oz Ragu (our favorite is chunky green pepper and mushroom, but please add some tomato paste if you like thicker sauce)

One full box (1lb) of dry spaghetti will feed approximately 4 to 5 people. One serving is equal to only 1/4 lb . For every 1/4 lb of spaghetti to cook, add 1 quart (4 cups) of water. If you're cooking a full boxful, you will need 4 quarts of water to cook all that spaghetti. Bring water to a rolling boil.

Pour salt (1 tsp per serving) in boiling water.  Break spaghetti in half and add to water, use a fork to stir spaghetti until it begins to boil again. Turn heat down by half, to allow spaghetti to cook. Stir occasionally until spaghetti is soft. It will take at least 10 minutes for spaghetti to reach soft stage, continue checking every 4 minutes until it is soft and edible.

 Drain pasta and spray in some olive oil, lightly toss so it does not stick together.

Brown beef/sausage mixture, drain grease.
 

Add meat into pot with sauce until warm. Dish pasta onto plate, pour sauce on top, sprinkle on Parmesan cheese for extra yum.
