Ingredients
Angel Hair Semolina Pasta, Half of a 16 oz packageExtra Lean Ground Beef, half poundChicken Boullion, 2 Tsp.Sweet yellow corn, 1 cupSalsa (mild), 1/2 cupExtra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 Tsp. Water, 4 cups
Brown the angel hair pasta in 1 tsp. olive oil until light brown. This brings out a nutty flavor in the pasta and keeps it from getting gummy when you add water later.
Brown the ground beef in a separate pan (you can either add this as described below, or wait until just before serving if you want to make a meatless dish for a guest).
Once pasta and beef are browned, combine them with all the remaining ingredients in a covered pot and simmer on low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Add more water as necessary.
NOTES:
You can use any type of boullion, my mother just uses chicken boullion because she prefers the flavor.
We prefer frozen corn, so If you decide to use canned corn, make sure to drain the canned water before using it, so it doesn't affect the flavor.
Also, instead of using salsa, one can substitute 1/3 cup of tomato sauce.
If you prefer a spicy dish, make sure to substitute hot salsa instead of mild.
Serving Size: Makes approximately (6) 3/4 cup servings
Number of Servings: 6
