put water on to boil, add alittle salt. do not add oil to the water. oil is added to the water to prevent potiens in the starch from forming bubbles and causing your pasta to boil over but it also makes it harder for the sauce to be soaked up. if you use enough water when you boil your pasta you wont ahve any issues with it boiling over.

put ground beef in large sauce pan and cook/brown ground beef while waiting for water to boil.

once beef is cooked, add tomato sauce. let simmer at low to med heat occasionally stirring (do not boil and turn off heat if you think its getting too thick).

once water comes to boil add pasta.

after 8-10 mins pasta should be about done, fish out a piece and make sure its cooked enough for your liking.

let pasta sit in strainer till the steam nearly stops

add pasta to sauce.

yeah, this^^^
try leaving it in the strainer longer.

Sketti and butter

Let the pasta sit in a colander in the sink for ~5 mins.

During that time you can heat up the sauce

no creme fraiche/10

Put pants in your noodles.

put poodles in your nants.

make your sauce thicker. pasta should go from pot to, sautee pan with your sauce. to the plate. to your mouth.

This is what I do.
