Pasta, Bitches.

Yes, I'm sorry for the cursing, but I feel like when you say "Pasta, Bitches." It makes dinner sound way more badass than usual. And I want this pasta to be badass. I'm making my own sauce. From scratch.

Bitch.

Ok, so one of the roommates mentioned that  curse too much, and I've noticed that around certain people I curb my language. Like around the elderly, I never curse. Around the bff, I curse like a sailor. Around the other roommates I curse sometimes, but only to make a point. When I'm by myself, dear lord take cover. Anyways. I digress.

I know, I haven't said that in a while. I miss it.
Right, again, I'm making pasta sauce from scratch with a half stolen recipe. I got the original from my Runner's World magazine a while back, but I'm far too lazy to go look for it again. Hence the making up half of it. I'll write down my ingredients here and leave a pictures too boot. (in an edit since I haven't actually made anything yet)

Yeah, that's right. I said too boot.

Ok, so I'm making a meat sauce cause I like me some protein. I'm using extra lean ground turkey. Look at me being all healthy and stuff! So yeah, you're gonna wanna cook that so you don't die when you eat it. Season it to taste (I feel so professional).

Ok, so cook that turkey (of ground beef if you prefer) then I added three 14oz cans of peeled whole tomatoes. I don't know why whole, but that's what Runner's World told me. Plus I like squishing the tomatoes!



Right, so I added the tomatoes and then about 5 cloves of garlic cause I love me some garlic. The some garlic salt, regular salt, a little pepper, and some sugar. Oh, and some oregano – so it's italian and such. Then cook it all together.



The pasta: I learned from my magazine that you do the water, add enough salt before it boils so that it tastes like sea water. Wait for it to boil and then add the pasta.

This is all from my magazine right now: after the pasta cooks almost all the way through, drain it then add it to the sauce to let it cook the rest of the way through. It'll make it all meld together and be magical.

And, I think that's it. Right? Right. Sorry if this comes out crap. But I'll let you all know how mine comes out. 

edit: I added another clove of garlic cause it was laying around without a peel and I forgot to put it away. 
pictures to be added later.... like in a few minutes.


End result: which I previously spelled end reslut.... anyways. I liked it a lot, then again I was half starving so that's not much to go by. The sauce wasn't too overpowering or anything but I was still able to taste it and stuff with the noodles. I would make it again, and I made os damn much I' having it for lunch for the rest of the week.
