6. Lower heat to medium.

7. Leave noodles to cook, stirring occasionally.

Note: You will know the noodles are done when they are soft, but not too mushy (You can just make these to taste if you would like).

Note: While the noodles are cooking, it is helpful to start prepping sauce.

8. Drain noodles and set aside until sauce is done.

Note: To prevent sticking, add water to the bottom of pan.

1. Heat a pan over medium heat.

2. Spread olive oil around the bottom of a pan (Figure 5).

4. Dice onion and add to pan (Figure 7).

5. Cook the onion and cloves until slightly browned.

Note: The onions will begin to look very soft when done.

9. Mix until tomato paste is entirely incorporated into sauce (Figure 10).

Note: To avoid spilling, stir slowly.

10. Add each of dry ingredients (Figure 11).
