- salt and pepper

- parsley
- chili flakes
- Worcestershire sauce
- hot sauce - 1 red onion
- 1 spanish onion
- bunch of sundried tomatoes
- pressed tomatoes
- diced tomatoes
- cumin
- lemon zest/spice

I use a lemon and herb spice meant for salmon but it makes beef taste pretty good to me. As for the hot sauce, I use some stuff I got at the Asian food store, it’s like sriracha but chunky.

As for the pink salt: my girlfriend likes it and we’re out of regular salt. Oh well. I usually use cacciatore or soppressata but tried chorizo recently and liked it, too. If you get unground chorizo, just cut it into smallish slices. You can add bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, whatever you want but I like it best when it’s simple.

Chop the onions. I did a pretty poor job but it doesn’t need to be even. After simmering the sauce they’ll lose their firmness. Put aside.

[Anonymous No.8119149]

Chop the sundried tomatoes. I got these at an antipasto bar at the nearby grocer. I cut each piece into 2-4 smaller pieces depending on size. Put aside. Try to keep the oil if any collected at the bottom of the container and add to the pot later.

All the vegetables chopped up.

Jesus, that's a fuckload of ingredients for something you pour on your macaroni.

[Anonymous No.8119156]

Heat olive oil in the pan, add all the onions, season with salt and pepper. Make sure you cook them covered.

After a few minutes, add the sundried tomatoes. Likewise cook a bit covered.

Maybe it's the lighting but your ground beef looks gross/expired. Also don't you think you should tone down on the spices?

I put two teaspoons of the hot sauce and a dash or two of chili flakes, then I stirred it around. Cook everything covered for another couple of minutes. Up to you how long.

[Anonymous No.8119170]

Nice.

You could however ditch the onions completely and add in a good handful of of finely diced kale to garnish and also give the sauce a punch of nutrition and also turn it into a keto friendly sauce at the same time.

Unless you're going to chop the onion so fine it melts I'd suggest replacing it with a green vegetable, spinach leaves would work well too if you don't have kale.

>buying pre-minced meat
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
is it so hard to ask your butcher to mince a piece of meat of your choosing? And that shit doesn't look fresh at all, it's brown

[Anonymous No.8119181]

More olive oil in the pan. Add all the meat, break it up as best as you can. Season with salt and pepper.

>>8119171

Sorry, it was frozen and then thawed. Thawed a bit too long. Still tasted good. Photos make it look worse than it is.

[Anonymous No.8119184]

I added about 3tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, a large dash of the lemon spice, a sprinkle of cumin, some parsley and oregano. I cook the meat covered but it isn’t necessary. Worcestershire sauce makes beef taste amazing.

Looks gross
I cook pasta with 1/3 of those ingredients and it looks way better, tastes excellent. Mixing sauces like that is shit, adding way too much shit like lemons ruins it. Never add too many ingredients, the secret for good pasta is how you cook it.
And for God's sake, buy fresh meat

[Anonymous No.8119190]

All cooked! I added 2 tspn of minced garlic and then added the onions and tomatoes from before.

Saw you post in /v/. had to make my rancid comment.

I can see you used hot spices. *My go to spices to save rancid meat.
congrats on your recipe from /v/

Did you microwave it or heat in how water?
Then it is only slightly cooked and not rancid

[Anonymous No.8119207]

Here it is all combined. Cooked a touch longer, can be with lid on or off. Just wanted everything to mingle.

[Anonymous No.8119208]

>>8119190
man, I've eaten ground like that before.
didn't die, but still I don't think that's recomendable

[Anonymous No.8119211]

Added the pressed tomatoes. Let it come back to the boil.

[Anonymous No.8119214]

Added the diced tomatoes. Let it come back to the boil and then turn to low heat (just low enough to maintain a light boil), let simmer uncovered for 1-2hr (longer is better). Stir occasionally; get all the good stuff off the bottom as you stir. If you simmer it covered, it won’t reduce as well and will be very thin at the end of it.

Maybe its just me, but whenever I make any sort of pasta I like to break apart the ground beef way more then you have it. It just looks too...chunky.

[Anonymous No.8119221]

It’s done! Simmered about 2.5 hours. I turned off the heat and let cool for a few minutes so it’ll become a touch thicker.

>>8119220

The beef broke apart decently but the chorizo did not.

[Anonymous No.8119231]

Brought some water to the boil, added a touch of olive oil and salt. When I put the sauce away, I didn’t rinse the pot so it appears a little reddish. I don’t think it makes a difference.

>>8119227

What's with the hostility? I like my pasta sauce, it feeds my SO and I. We both think it tastes good. Sorry I'm not Alton Brown.

[Anonymous No.8119234]

Add some pasta and cook. I’m using fusilli here but it works well with anything. Probably wouldn’t advise lasagna or gnocchi, the sauce is pretty thick. After cooked, strain.

[Anonymous No.8119238]

Where is the obligatory red wine?

[Anonymous No.8119239]

I’m out of parmesan else I’d put some on top. Just the sauce will do. All photos shot on a Canon T5i and a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens. All using 1/20s and f/2.8 at 16mm. Sorry the photos aren’t the best, I didn’t review them until it was all done.

It's your faggy approach to everything you made
SO? What's that supposed to mean?
Wanna cook real pasta? First you go to a butcher and ask him to mince a piece of cow meat of your choosing - the meat's quality is very important - next you buy your regular sauce ingredients, or if you're lazy, buy a tomato/onion/garlic premade sauce for pasta.
Next you put the sauce on a shallow pan at low heat, when it starts to boil, add the beef, mix it well, make sure it's not clumpy.
Keep mixing that shit and monitoring it on low heat, when the beef starts turning dark brown, turn it off
With the pasta alreafy made, add the meat, mix and leave it on very low heat for 5 minutes.
Done, you've got yourself a great pasta with a thick red sauce and great tasty meat.

Or maybe, just maybe you were in a car accident and for some reason can't taste food anymore and you're forcing your bitch to hate her life too? Call fucking 911 cause we have to save this bitch.

This is not how it should look. Your ingredients were right but your method is faffy, faggy and fucking wrong. You most DEFINITELY need to add wine and the the tomatoes should go in after the onion and meat stage. You should also have used a good beef stock and the whole thing should've been left to simmer for hours. It's a heavy combination of flavours and they need time to blend into each other.

Anyway, I can't be bothered. Hopefully that other guy who said he'll come back has more patience.

That is definitely NOT how the end result should look.

>Your ingredients were right
I'm not too sure about that. Mixing all those different flavors not withstanding, the meat looked rancid and he used a premade sauce as a basis

[Anonymous No.8119353]

>>8119265
I'm from Italy and I fail to see how this is insulting to us. It's not like he said this was some authentic Italian preparation of sauce for pasta or anything. In fact, you're the first (and so far only, other than myself) person ITT to mention anything about Italy/Italians.

>>8119239
Not sure it's something I would enjoy, but I would try it if offered. I was happy to have read your thread, even if that's not exactly my sort of thing.

[Anonymous No.8119539]

>>8119353

I just make it as my mom did. Sure I use my own spices but the general recipe is the same.

I know I should have used fresher meat: I thawed it way too long (was sitting out for 6hr), plus I didn't have any basil. I've never use bouillon stock in my sauces.

For what it's worth, I used a can of diced tomatoes and a jar of pressed/squeezed tomatoes. I didn't use a premade sauce as a base, I used (not fresh) tomatoes.

>>8119282

I did, though: I omitted this image because I thought it was a given. I should have added more sauce, I thought half a container of sauce was enough but looks like I should have used more.
