Mama Theresa'S One Pot Pasta
- 1 lb lean beef or 1 lb ground meat, of your choice
- 1 onion (half if you don't like a lot of onion)
- 3 -6 garlic cloves (or as much as you like)
- 2 -6 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 -3 teaspoon garlic salt (this is to taste)
- 4 tablespoons sugar (brown is good to I use sucranate)
- 1 (6 ounce) can green olives (not pimento styled just brined)
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce (I use bertoli )
- 16 pasta (any type you like, I use penne)
- 2 -4 ounces provolone cheese
- 5 ounces romano cheese
- pepper
- 1/2 cup water (if you have it laying around) or 1/2 cup red wine (if you have it laying around)
- water
- It's very important to follow these directions exsactly, just kidding . This is pretty easy and is difficult to mess up.
- Put meat, onion,garlic salt, sugar,pepper,basil and oregano in a pot and cook until well browned. Then add wine if you have it ,if not just add 1/2 c water.
- Add olives and garlic , then the jar of spaghetti sauce.
- Use the now empty spaghetti jar and fill with water . Add 3 jars of water to the pot. Bring to a boil and add pasta.
- It will take a little longer than the regular pasta cook time . Stir occasionally .Simmer until pasta is done.
- Add provolone and mix inches.
- hen its done top it with shredded Romano and serve.
