Pasta with Meat Sauce – 080327
Brown 1lb of ground beef, poking out all chunks (get uniform small stuff), seasoned with black pepper and italian seasoning. Once water/fat burned off or cooked in, add about 1/2cup Spicy Vinegar Sauce (from BigLots), and reduce again. Add Victoria Marinara sauce (from Costco), half jar of 1% milk (also to rinse out sauce jar), 10oz frozen spinach (heated in microwave), 3-4 squirts of tabasco, 1-2tbsp red pepper flakes, half can of Del Monte Gold pineapple chunks with juice. Stir to mix, then stir every 10min to keep stuff from burning to bottom, cook total of 30min or till flavors blended.
Cook rigatoni pasta ~7min, ’til some white left in middle of pasta (about 2min from being done ; done=white just disappearing from cross-section). Immediately drain, return pot to heat, return pasta to pot, dump sauce on pasta and toss/mix. Remove from heat. Serve.
This didn’t seem to need cheese. Or tzatziki (great cheese substitute).
