It is also quick and EASY!! PASTA SAUCE Cover a small saucepan with a small amount of olive oil. Add one clove of crushed fresh garlic (or dried garlic pieces) and fry until they start to bubble and spin. Add cubed chunks of good steak (rump if you're rich, gravy beef if you're poor) and brown. Add one can of pealed tomatoes (the italian kind in a thick sauce) and cook for about 5 minutes. Add herbs and spices and cook for a further 10 minutes. (The cooking time is up to you and the meat, the cheaper the meat the longer it takes to tenderize.) Serve over pasta shell or twirls. EAT AND ENJOY. To cook pasta properly (told to me by the same Italian lady that gave me the pasta sauce recipe) put it in a pot of boiling water that coutains a little salt and olive oil. Taste pasta periodically and as soon as it is not chewy, drain immediately. DO NOT RINSE. Enjoy Mandi.
