Ingredients

How to make it

  • Start boiling water and cook the pasta in a large pot while you do this stuff.
  • Heat up the oil. When you can bounce a drop of water off the pan, add the garlic and onions. Keep going until the onions get translucent and/or garlic starts browning (2-3 minutes).
  • When the pan is ready for it, put in your beef and cook on medium-high-7. When the beef gets a little brown and the grease starts sizzling throw in the first half of the divided spices. Turn down the dial to medium-5-6 and let it simmer for a while, stirring occassionally.
  • When the beef is all brown and all the spices have soaked in, put in the can of tomatoes (with the juices). Cut the tomatos up with spatula so they cook better. Here you put in the second half of the spice mixture, the chili powder, and basil/oregano. Give it a good stir. Now turn it up just a little bit until it starts simmering, and then turn it back down to medium-5. Simmer it for about 15 minutes while stirring it occassionally (especially at the bottom where it might burn).
  • After a while the marinara will reduce and become nice and sticky. If it is still pretty runny and won't reduce, put in a little sugar or tomato paste.
  • Now drain your pasta (which you should have cooked by now, I hope) and serve the pasta with marinara on top! Throw on some cilantro if you have any and you're done!
