Notes
For the pasta, al dente is the ideal consistency. The pasta will be tender and will still have a slightly firm texture when you bite into it.
For an even quicker cooking time, ground beef can be cooked ahead of time. Brown ground beef in a large skillet and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
