This is my husband's idea of perfect comfort food. I think his direct quote was "magical." And this is such an easy spin on plain old pasta that I'm sure we'll be making again.
Note: This makes a very meaty sauce, so if you like it more "saucy" than "meaty," use only a half-pound meat.

Ohhh, this seems really easy and sounds pretty good. Any advice for upping it for 12 people? I'm going to try to make this Thursday night for dinner group. I think since we have some hungry guys I should just double the recipe.
