Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1½ teaspoons red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cumin powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1½ teaspoon salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 16 oz. box fettuccine

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl add in the ground beef, spices, salt, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly and set aside while you heat the vegetable oil in large pot or wok on medium heat.
- Once oil is shiny on surface add in the meat and cook on medium heat while mixing occasionally. After about 5 minutes when meat is mostly cooked raise the heat to high and sauté to remove excess moisture. Sauté for about 5 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked and flavor is concentrated.
- Add in 28 oz. can of peeled tomatoes to cooked meat. Crush each whole tomato with spoon then cover pot with lid. Allow to cook on low to medium low heat for about 35-40 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and cooked down.
- At this point taste the sauce for seasoning, add salt or spice to your liking. Add in sprinkling of oregano.
- Once sauce is done, cook fettucine in salted, boiling water according to box directions.
- When pasta is cooked use tongs to remove from water and add into finished sauce.
- Mix thoroughly in sauce making sure to coat all pasta.
- Plate up the pasta and garnish with a sprig of parsley.
- Enjoy!
