pasta was one of the two cheap and filling meals id make for my 4 roomates and i back in the day. everyone would pitch in 1 dollar and id get 1 lb ground beef, 1 pack of pasta, and 1 99 cent can of hunts tomato sauce. i usually would already have white onions, crushed red peppers, garlic, parsely, parmesan, and olive oil in the kitchen.
made it like this.
1-get water boiling
2-put beef in a plastic bag toss onions, garlic, red peppers in there with meat and squish it all together from the outside of the bag. this is a clean and easy way to mix the stuff in the beef.
3-brown the beef and add the pasta to boiling water.
4-add sauce to browned beef and add remaining onions garlic and peppers. i put half in the beef half in the sauce.
5- drain pasta return to pot toss in olive oil and parsley.
6- either toss sauce into pasta in pot or preferably serve pasta with sauce on top. add parmesan. this is enough to fill 5 guys up till they cant move.
