This is a nice basic sauce for a variety of pastas. My first step however, was to brown the meat and drain any grease before I did the rest. Being that I cook alot of Italian food I added a combination of Italian spices to this and it was great. I even wrote this down for my son who just got his own place and first stove because I think it will be easy for him. Thanks
