Goody Does Things - Custom Garlic Pasta
6Here's a version of this in text form in case this video is hard to follow:
Ingredients:
1 normal package of spaghetti pasta
1 pound of ground beef, 80/20
2 cans Cream of Mushroom condensed soup
2 cans Cream of Onion condensed soup (this may be hard to find at some stores, substitute Cream of Celery if you absolutely cannot find it)
Garlic Salt
Instructions:
1. Get a large pot, a medium pot, a large skillet, two large strainers, a spatula, a ladle, and a whisk. Put the two large strainers in the sink in preparation, while you put the large skillet and the large pot on the stove.
2. Fill the large pot with 3 quarts of water and turn the heat on low. It'll eventually boil, but you need to finish something else before that happens.
3. Open the container of ground beef and put it into the skillet. Using the spatula, start cutting up the beef into smaller and smaller chunks. When it starts to sizzle, sprinkle a generous amount of garlic salt onto it and keep flipping it over until it's all browned. When fully browned, give it yet another treatment of garlic salt.
4. By now, the water for the spaghetti should be close to boiling. Before it gets to that point, pour the meat into one of the strainers to drain off all the fat, then move it back to the skillet and set it aside.
5. Place the medium pot on a different part of the stove, and empty all the cans of condensed soup into it. Take one of the soup cans, fill it half-way with water, and add that too. Mix thoroughly, then turn on VERY low heat.
6. At this point, the water for the spaghetti should be at a rolling boil. Open the container and empty all the noodles into it. Using the ladle, stir occasionally. Only cook the noodles for the time listed on the packaging. When you're not stirring the noodles, stir the sauce. Add a generous amount of garlic salt into the sauce as well.
7. When the spaghetti is finished cooking, turn all parts of the stove off and use the other strainer to get rid of all the water, then transfer the noodles back into the pot, putting the pot back onto the now-disabled stove.
8. Add all the sauce into the noodles and stir thoroughly until combined, which may be a bit tough, but you'll get there. Add all the browned meat to the pasta and stir again. Finally, add more garlic salt to the pasta, and mix one last time.
9. Remember to clean up! If you're skilled enough, you can partially clean up while making this dish, which certainly helps as you'll have a lot to clean up!

As I said in the video, I'd love to see any suggestions for improvements to the recipe, as well as your versions! If you have a suggestion for a name for this dish then please tell me, since I'm not creative like that. I did think of "Goody's Masta Pasta" but that sounds too weird.
