Turn your stove top on med-high heat and put the pan on to warm up

Next, put the whole pack of ground beef into the pan and break up the meat so that it separated into little pieces

Brown the meat (it takes about 10 min) so there is no pink

Drain the Ground Beef

Fill up the pot 3/4 of water

Turn heat up to high to allow the water to boil

Once the water is at a boil add both packs of noodles

For authentic "al dente" noodles, boil for 6 min, stirring occasionally. For more tender noodles boil an additional min or two

For other authentic options you can follow this video for instructions on how to make homemade pasta noodles!
