RIGATONI

Rigatoni (my paw paw Tony’s dish)

In a very  large & deep frying add a little oil.. have you about 3 large cloves of garlic minced up, throw into the  hot oil and use wooden spoon to stir around, WATCH do not burn garlic or it will ruin the whole dish

as soon as you smell that garlic in the air, throw in your ground chuck, brown it but don’t stir it to death let it cook in larger chunks we don’t want pebbles we want MEAT,,,,

shake in salt and pepper WELL over meat and parsley flakes. add HUNTS tomato sauce (the big can 16oz I think and the big tomato paste or two little tomato paste & save your cans

fill up  the smaller can twice with water  and the big one once with water adding  to pan. stir well then add in grated parmesan cheese (don’t be stingy) and salt n pepper to taste bring to a boil reduce heat and let simmer for 30-40 min

you should have a thick meaty sauce, I always taste it because I may need to add more of this or that… to achieve the right taste.. this sauce is not sweet it is more savory. If you wanted sweeter you should have added sweet onion in the beginning with the garlic. (some people add sugar to their sauces but this is not one of those sauces I like sugar in)

Boil Rigatoni Noodles in pot until al dente with a drop of oil and salted water.
drain and while hot shake Grated Parmesan Cheese over top and toss into your sauce, Serve with garlic bread and salad
