Instuctions for Pasta Sauce (Sugo)

• In a blender add in, 12-15 cut tomatoes, 3-4 garlic cloves, ½ cup of water, and blend until it’ s a liquid consistency.

• In a large pot, heat up 1 tbsp olive oil in MED-HIGH. Then add in ¼ of a chopped onion into the heated oil, cook until it is translucent.

• Once, the onion is translucent, reduce the heat to MED-LOW, and add in the minced meat. Mix around and cook until all sides are browned. Browning the minced meat should take about 5-10 minutes or so.

• Once the meat is browned and ready on all sides, add in 2-3 tbsps of pureed tomato to the minced meat and mix around.

• Then, add in both the blended tomato mixture into the pot and increase the heat to HIGH. It should be coming to a boil. Add salt to taste (we added 1 tbsp). Then reduce heat to MEDIUM for about 40-ish minutes. 

• In the meantime, slice the green bell pepper into long slices and place into a bowl of water.

• Once the sauce is ready-ish (when the sauce is reduced), remove the water from the bell peppers, and add them into the sauce for about 5-10 minutes.

Instructions for Pasta

• Fill a pot half way (or ⅔ of the way) up with tap water and turn heat to HIGH
• Add a tsp. of olive oil (to prevent pasta from sticking to each other), and add in salt to taste and bring the salt water to a boil
• Once the salt water comes to a boil, add in the pasta and stir it around (stir the pasta every few minutes or so)
• Cook pasta to your preference (we cooked it for about 20-ish minutes until it became al-dente)
• Once pasta is done cooking, drain the water in a strainer
• Once all the water is removed from the pasta, add a little bit of pasta sauce in the bottom of the pasta pot and return the pasta back into the pot, add in a little more sauce on top of the pasta and mix around
