Effortless Pasta Meat Sauce (Printable Version)

Chunky meat sauce made with tomatoes and beef. Tastes amazing on noodles.

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat Base

01 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
02 - 4 garlic cloves, minced up
03 - 1 sweet onion, diced small
04 - 1 lb lean ground beef

→ Sauce

05 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 1/2 teaspoon oregano, dried
07 - 2 teaspoons basil, dried
08 - 1 tablespoon sugar
09 - 14.5 oz diced tomatoes mixed with herbs
10 - 8 oz plain tomato sauce
11 - 15 oz crushed tomatoes
12 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pour the sauce on cooked noodles, then sprinkle with parmesan or parsley if you're feeling fancy.
02 - Let it boil for a bit, drop the heat, and let that sauce hang out for 20 to 30 minutes (or longer if you've got the time).
03 - Dump in all the canned tomatoes and give those seasonings a good mix in.
04 - Get your beef cooking with the onion, salt, and garlic until it's brown and cooked through. Drain out any extra fat when it looks done.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Letting it bubble away for extra time just makes it tastier
02 - Fresh garlic or that squeezy garlic paste both work fine
03 - Pop your pasta in the water while the sauce cooks
