Notes

Basic Comfort food with an Italian bend.  Fairly fast, one can start with a basic sofrito; the choice of pasta is up to the cook.  This is scaled for two people to have two bowls, so feel free to double it for larger groups.
While lasagna noodles are specified, macaroni or other hearty pasta can be used.
As spoken in a previous rant:
A note on Ground Beef:
I prefer to make my ground beef.
  • Cube your portion of dead cow into 3/4 – 1″ chunks
  • Spread onto a sheet pan and freeze for 30 minutes
  • Grind up in either a grinder or a food processor
This allows me to control the amount of fat and the quality of the beef.
