Notes
- To keep your pasta from sticking, stir it until it no longer settles on the bottom of the pot and when it's ready, drain it and rinse it with water.
- I used Italian inspired Tuttorosso tomatoes in this recipe. Feel free to go with your favorite brand of crushed tomatoes.
- This recipe will also work with any ground meat like turkey or beef.
- Serve with a side salad like this marinated zucchini salad.
