NOTES:

If you like it thicker add 30 ounces of water instead of 40.

This WIll make enough for A LOT of pasta sauce! You can freeze the leftovers and they'll last for weeks (at least)!

TIPS:

Making the pasta at the same time will be tricky so you'll have to play around with the timing.

• Try to have the water for the pasta boiling WHEN you're adding the meat

  • After you add the meat to the POT you can add the PASTA to another pot of boiling water

  • Pasta usually takes 8 to 10 minutes so when the pasta's done you can drain the pasta and serve the sauce almost the same time!

• This much sauce will stay hot for a long time after you cook it, especially if you leave the lid on, so you don't have to feel rushed to get the pasta out right away.

• It might take a few times to get everything to come out together, but don't get discouraged! Make notes on what works and what doesn't, find out what works best for you!
