INSTRUCTIONS

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta  and
stir a few times to ensure that the pasta does not stick to  itself.
Boil vigorously for the time recommended on the pasta package  or until
the pasta is tender. While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in  a large
skillet over high heat, add the onion, and cook, stirring  often, until
browned, about 2 minutes. Add the chili pepper if  desired, the garlic,
and the meat and continue cooking until the meat  loses its raw look.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and pepper,  bring to a boil, and
simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Adjust the salt and  pepper and stir in the
parsley. Remove the chili pepper. Drain the  pasta and toss it with the
sauce in a serving bowl.  Copyright credit: 1996 by Andrew Schloss and
