Pasta With Tomato Sauce And Meat Topping Recipe

Preparation of the Meat

1. Start by selecting your choice of meat; beef or pork works perfectly for this dish. Cut into bite-sized pieces or strips. 2. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or olive oil. Once hot, add the meat to the pan. 3. Season the meat with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (e.g., oregano, thyme, basil). Cook until the meat is fully cooked and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Pasta

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add approximately 200 grams of pasta and cook according to the package's instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Combining the Ingredients

1. In the same pan used for the meat, add approximately 150 grams of tomato sauce, and bring to a simmer. 2. Add the cooked meat back into the pan with the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together. 3. Add the cooked, drained pasta to the sauce and meat mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce. 4. Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of grated cheese or fresh herbs, if desired.
