Philly-Style Pasta

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.
