Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by boiling a large pot of salted water and adding the bowtie pasta. I usually cook it until al dente, which is about 8-10 minutes. While the pasta cooks, I heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. The aroma of the beef cooking with the onions and garlic is absolutely heavenly! After the beef is browned and fully cooked, I drain off any excess fat. Don’t forget to check the pasta; it should be just right! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
