A comforting fusion dish that combines the savory flavors of Chinese cuisine with the familiar comfort of pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (spaghetti or your choice)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.

  6. Combine and Coat: Add the drained pasta into the beef mixture and toss until well coated (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
