Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cook noodles in heavily salted boiling water until al dente (just barely cooked they are going to finish in the sauce)

Step 2

Drain, saving 1/2 cup pasta water.

Step 3

Cook 2 pounds of ground beef in a bit of butter.

Step 4

Season lightly.

Step 5

Then she adds bunches of green onions, a pair of chopped green peppers (they were smaller back then) and some garlic before bringing the mixture to a slow simmer.

Step 6

Next, she adds one large can of “solid pack tomatoes” and their juice, keeping that simmer going.

Step 7

She seasons the dish with salt and pepper to taste and simmered for 30 minutes, adding pasta water if needed.

Step 8

During the last half hour of cooking, she adds cooked, strained egg noodles. (I would add 10 minutes left).

Step 9

She also recommends adding a touch of Accent—a classic brand of MSG seasoning.
