Bucatini Pasta with Meat Sauce


We went to AJ's on Friday (specialty food store) and got some gourmet pasta and sauce to make. The pasta we chose was "Bucatini" I have never had this before. It was like a really thick spaghetti noodle. It was actually really good. You get a nice bite because it's thicker than spaghetti but you still get those long strands that I love. For the sauce we got some ground sirloin from the butcher and I browned this in a pan with onions and garlic. Then I poured a bottle of gourmet pasta sauce over it and simmered for about 10 mins. I combined this with the Bucatini and garnished with Fresh Basil. It was very delicious. You can always tell a difference when you cook with high quality ingredients. This is a really easy meal and we make it a lot. I always love to doctor up a plain jar a pasta sauce to make it my own.
