>>8782745
You dont need beef to make pasta.
Its made of flour and eggs, some salt.

>>8782745
>can i still make pasta with ground beef like this?

Yes.

>>8782751
but i like ground beef in my pasta sauce.

>>8782756
but will it taste good? or some poor man abomination?

>>8782782
It will come out just fine. Less red and less body, but i do it all the time. Tomato paste is way too expensive.

>>8782745
Fry an onion then the beef. Add diced carrot. Throw in the tinned tomatoes. Add beef stock/bullion so it adds 50-75% of the volume. Add Italian herbs, dried is fine and a shit ton of black pepper. Bring to the boil then simmer it for a good few hours until reduced. Don't let it go dry. Nom.

alrighty, will do tonight. if it turns out being shit though ima come back posting angry things to /ck/

>>8782808
ya ya, i know what you mean pasta poindexter over here

in the cuisine of pasta it's recommended to use tomatoes, but the italians are flexible (unlike the nasty French Frogs lol) so use what you have on hand OP. Good luck, we are all counting on you.

>>8782815
yes i have canned tomatoes, i just dont have the tomato sauce too.

>>8782811
Sure, just let it simmer a little longer, so its reduce the water, then add some spices like garlic, dried basil, oregano, onion powder, whatever you have.
Should be ok.

>>8782896

did you know that you could make your canned tomatoes into tomato sauce?

How you ask? Well, it's really simple. Puree some of your tomato and cook it down a little so some of the water evaporates. Done! Now you have tomato sauce.

Do you you want tomato paste? Well you're in luck because that's also fucking simple. Take your sauce and cook it down further so even more of the water is gone.

will do. if u dont hear back from me tonight, it went well. if im stuck eating some ground beef over noodle abomination im coming for your heads.

>>8782913
Pureeing is not necessary if you stew them in a pot they will disintegrate.

>>8783097
Yeah, but then you have to start the sauce hours before your meal so they have time to cook down.
