Main Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • I prefer to season meats to marinate overnight or for at least 24 hours. Marinated meats, in my opinion, are more flavorful. However, ground meats do not need to be marinated for long periods.

  • In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with the chopped or diced onions, crushed garlic, complete seasoning, thyme leaves, and salt.
    Mix well together a store in the refrigerator overnight or for 2 hours.
    Remove seasoned ground beef from the refrigerator to get to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.

  • Heat olive oil for 1 minute in a large aluminum pot. Empty the ground beef into heated oil.
    Sometimes the meat may cook clumped together into larger chunks. Use a wooded spoon to break the ground beef into smaller pieces as needed.
    Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until the beef becomes completely browned.

  • The instruction calls for us to cook for 10 minutes. However, in the recipe, we will only cook the pasta for 5-7 minutes or until al dente (soft to touch).

  • While the beef is cooking, bring to boil 4-quarts water in a saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to boiling water. Pour the Mezzi Rigatoni pasta into salted boiling water.

  4. When I saw this recipe, I just had to know how vodka was used in a pasta dish. I was surprised to find out this could be bought as a premade pasta sauce. However, when I tried clicking the vodka pasta sauce link to find out more, I kept being taken to the salt product on Amazon instead. So do they use actual vodka in the pasta sauce? Also, what’s iodised salt? How’s that different to regular salt?

    1. UnwwantedLife, Without going into its Biochemistry, Iodized salt in comparison to regular table salt, contains iodine, a very important mineral needed for the prevention of a medical condition called Goiter. Thank you for pointing out the link error. I will correct it. Here is the link:https://amzn.to/3tmkirO

  5. I have to admit, I have never tried vodka in pasta before but that one looks so yummy. Maybe I will try it for the first time haha. Thank you for this recipe!
