Easiest Pasta Ever!

I got home late one day. I had a meeting that went longer than expected but I still had to cook. I know, we could have just grabbed Nando's or some other quick meal. However I hate to spend money for when I have food in my fridge and plus I try my darnedest to avoid the devil that fast food is.

So, with only a hour until my wife arrives home I needed to throw together a meal. The easiest meal I tell you! Ready for the ingredients here we go.



You will need...

  • Lean Mince meat (US we say Hamburger meat. I prefer turkey but that hard to find here so beef works great!)
  • Macaroni Noodles
  • Jar of Tomato Sauce
  • 6oz Can Tomato Paste
  • Spinach (Remember Fresh is best, I grabbed a few leaves from my garden)
  • Mozzarella cheese (And the church said...Amen)
  • Table Spoon Italian Herb Seasoning 
  • Salt and Pepper
  • One Onion
  • Bell Pepper
  • Garlic clove
This will be quick and easy. First boil water and then chuck in 1 1/2 cup of noodles. Second, Dice your Spinach, Bell Pepper and Onion into small pieces. Next Put the mince the pot when it begins to brown add the veggies and garlic. Lean mince will have less fat so less "grease".  

After the meat browns drain the fat/grease. Add into the the meat tomato sauce and tomato paste. The pot temperature should be on medium. Add in Italian Seasoning  and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. Add in Salt and pepper to taste. 

You have to taste what you are about to feed people. Make sure you like it before you share it. Feel me?

When your noodles are finished and drawn mix in the noodles and Meat Sauce into a baking or casserole dish. Cover the dish with a layer of Mozzarella and bake at 350 Degrees  or 176 Celsius for 20 minutes or until the cheese and melted and all nice and yummy looking.  Take it out plate it up and be done! Dinner is served Baby!

That was easy right?
