Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Tips:
- To save time, chop the onion and grate the Parmesan cheese while the beef is browning.
- For a richer flavor, let the meat sauce simmer on low heat for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- Add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the pasta sauce.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, consider adding diced tomatoes or bell peppers to the sauce.
- Always reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the consistency of your sauce if needed.
