In honor of Scat Head Obsidian...Ask D2!

[greybeta]

One of my favorite LJers, the polyamorous Scat Hed Obsidian (scathedobsidian), seems to be going through a rather busy patch of his life. I loved his Word of the Week and his Ask Billy Series. So, in his stead, I've decided to steal continue those series. The Word of the Week will most likely be recorded Monday.

Ask D2 has the same rules as Ask Billy. Figure out the rules from Scat Hed's questions.

Ask D2, fine friends. Ask D2 anything you want.

Supreme Iron Chef Mario's One Pound Spaghetti

One lb of spaghetti noodles (preferably something thicker than string)
One lb of ground beef (preferably lean)
One can of spaghetti sauce (I prefer Garlic and Herb myself)
One can of tomato sauce (4 oz)
Diced onions (I dunno, mabe a fourth or half an onion, depending on how much you hate/love onions)

You will need:
A pot to boil noodles
A fairly large pain
Something to drain noodles and meat

1. Boil water. Put noodles into boiling water. Add um, a tablespoon of vegetable oil (my mom just eyes it so I'm not sure) and salt to the boiling water.
2. While water is boiling, put some vegetable oil onto pan and sautee onions for a minute or two.
3. Turn the heat on the pan with the sauteed onions to just warm. Check if pasta is ready for draining. You'll just know (I hope, I'm not never quite sure myself). Then drain noodles and wash in cold water for a bit.
4. Take ground beef and put it on top of the sauteed onions (You'll need to set it on a higher temp, probably medium high if you're worried about burning though I'm impatient and just high). Mix thoroughly while the beef is cooking.
5. Once beef is browned, add noodles on top. Then add spaghetti sauce. Then add tomato sauce. Start mixing throughly.
6. This step is the customizing step. My mom likes putting sprinkling a few pinches of salt and sugar at this point. My scheming roommate likes oregano. Your call here.
7. Cook until you feel the sauce has been adequeately cooked. This should take at least ten minutes.

Total time should be about 35-50 minutes, depending on stuff (for me this includes remembering to put vegetable oil into the pan before putting the onions on).
