Dragon Pasta

Guess who's back, back again! Sorry I had to do it!

This is a favourite in my house! Simple enough for the average meatball but just complex enough to be cool! This recipe is a Boil Original!

Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 cup of beef broth
2 cups of Marinara Sauce
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar 
1 tbsp olive oil
Corkscrew Pasta
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Cayenne Pepper
Sugar






Directions

1. In a deep frying pan, brown ground beef over medium-high heat, season beef with salt and pepper. Add half of the diced onions to the beef and continue browning. Drain and put meat and onion mixture in a large bowl.
2. Clean off the pan, add tablespoon of oil and heat on medium. Add the rest of the diced onions to the pan. Season with salt and cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add Balsamic Vinegar to the onions and mix well. Allow vinegar to really saturate the onions (about 30 seconds), add Beef Broth and mix well.
4. Allow to heat through, then add Marinara (add more if you want a thicker sauce), be sure to mix well, the sauce should have a brownish color. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
5. At this point, boil a pot of water and cook pasta according to box directions.
6. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and cayenne pepper (light if you want it wimpy or more if you want a bite). Be sure to taste and adjust your seasonings. 
7. When the pasta is ready, add the meat and onion mixture into the sauce. Mix well. Drain the pasta and mix the sauce and pasta.
8. Plate and sprinkle a small amount of sugar on top. Enjoy!

I named this dish "Dragon Pasta" because of the spice and shape of the noodles. A good side is a small salad, or a slice of pizza! If your more of sauce person don't mix all the sauce with the pasta and save some for topping the dish. Be sure to let me know what you think!
