Grandma W's Goulash

- 2/3 box or bag Shell pasta (medium or large- not small)

- 28 oz can diced tomatoes

- smallest can of tomato paste (even just a couple of scoops)

-1 small white onion chopped

- 1lb of ground meat ( I use 1/2 lb)

-2-3 medium carrots grated

- italian seasoning

-chili powder

- chopped fresh garlic

- salt and sugar to taste

Sautee onion and garlic in oil or butter till soft, throw in grated carrots and stir till slightly softened. Add ground beef to the same pan and brown. Pour in tomatoes and tomato paste. Add seasonings, salt and sugar to taste. Add sauce to cooked pasta and let simmer for any desired amount of time. Simmering not necessary but grandma does it so I do too.

Serve with buttered sourdough and carrots and grated cheddar cheese.
