Spaghetti with meat sauce and cheese
This is my Grandma recipe and the first recipe I learned to make when I was around 12 years old
Recipe type: Dinner, Main Dish Serves: 12 Ingredients 1 lb. – angel hair (or any kind) pasta 2 lbs. ground beef 2 tbsp. – olive oil ½ tbsp. –salt 1 tsp. – garlic salt ½ tsp. – vegeta ¼ tsp. ground pepper 1 can (14 oz.) – pizza sauce ¼ cup – ketchup 12 oz. – mozzarella cheese Chives for topping/decorating Instructions 1. Grind meat and shred cheese. Cover cheese with plastic wrap (to prevent from drying out) and leave it on the countertop for the cheese to get to room temperature (it will melt faster). Cook pasta according to package instructions. Cook pasta and meat sauce at the same time. Place ground beef onto a medium pan. Add olive oil. Cook it on high mixing it from time to time until all the water evaporates and the meat starts sizzling. Then reduce the heat to med/low, add all the spices salt, garlic salt, vegeta, ground pepper. Mix it well and let the meat brown (that takes about 5 minutes). 2. Stir in pizza sauce and ketchup. Cook it on low until ready to top the pasta with it (that will keep the meat sauce hot until you ready for it). 3. Drain the pasta and rinse it with hot water (that prevents pasta from being slimy). Place pasta into a bowl that comes with alid. Top the pasta with hot meat sauce and then sprinkle with shredded cheese Close the lid tight and let the heat do it's magic (takes about 10 minutes). During this time you can make a green salad with feta and greek olives. The pasta needs to be served right away. Leftover pasta needs to be preserve
