My son, who is in the Air Force, discovered this recipe and made for our weekly family night on his last visit home. It quickly became a family fave!! This is a GREAT recipe for a busy, week-night dinner. Simple, familiar ingredients that most of us keep on hand and the pasta cooks right into the sauce!! One-pot cooking is always a plus. I did add one step - I drain my beef before adding the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water and seasonings. Good eating - my family loves it!!
