Mine is a bit different than what folks here have but it's common from most people I've encountered.

1lb ground beef Beef broth (optional) maybe half a cup 2ish cloves garlic 1 green pepper 1 red pepper (optional) 1 medium yellow onion 1 tbs each dried oregano and basil 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 small can tomato paste 1 San marzano tomatoes (crushed or diced or whatever works too) 1 box elbow Mac

You'll start by dicing the peppers and onions. This will be like a sofrito for the sauce. Let this cook over a medium heat with oil for a 2 to 5 minutes until tender. Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes stirring occasionally.

Add your spices here. If you're feeling frisky add crushed red peppers. Add in your tomato paste and a splash of water so it's not thick anymore.

Here comes the tomatoes. Cook these down until it reduces just a bit. Taste for seasoning.

While this is going brown your beef. Salt and pepper to flavor. Drain any excess grease. Add the broth here and let it simmer for like a minute or two. Make sure you deglazed the pan here.

You'll add your worcestershire and beef to the sauce.

Salt the ever loving fuck out of your water and cook your noodles to the box.

Before draining reserve a mug of water. Add sauce to noodles. Stir these boys in and add some pasta water in as needed.

For optimal results, refrigerate immediately and serve as leftovers
