Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, I add the fettuccine and cook it for about 10 minutes or until al dente. While the pasta cooks, I heat a skillet over medium heat, adding a tablespoon of olive oil. As it warms, I add the ground beef, breaking it up with my wooden spoon and cooking until it’s perfectly browned—about 6 to 8 minutes. The aroma of the beef sizzling in the pan is utterly inviting!
