Instructions
 

  • Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
