To say that I'm a gourmet chef is a far stretch. I actually prefer baking, the exact measurements are much more comfortable for me. I get nervous when I have to improvise. With nothing in the fridge but sandwich meat and turkey broth, I figured I should head to the grocery store. Pasta (pretty much any version of pasta), hamburger steaks and mashed potatoes (I'm a simpleton) and potato soup are the things I know I'm pretty good at. Lots of practice/easy stuff. Tonight? Tonight was a spaghetti night.
Oh Haaaaaay, ingredients. How ya been? I actually didn't use the Red Gold tomatoes, but no one likes to leave out the obsolete one.
The meat looks like its in animal shapes? Can I just say I hate browning meat? It's the most tedious process ever. And don't even get me started on boiling water. You could season your meat and the water if you want, I didn't. Well, other than salting the water. Rebel spaghetti.
Y'all know what browned cow looks like, so I figured I'd skip ahead. Yay, sauce! It looks really juicy right now but it cooks down. I love stewed tomatoes in spaghetti. Mmm.. chunks.
And the water still isn't boiling. Ahhh.
I'd like to note that I started at 8:00. 22 minutes to boil? Sigh. By the way, if your noodles look like this, they aren't done. Sad, stiff noodles.
FINALLY! WE ARE READY TO ASSEMBLE! Steamy saucy ;)
Bon Appetit!
