I would use Angel hair pasta because it's using a tomato sauce and I feel it works best with that type of pasta.
Sauce originated in Italy
someone's great grandma brought the recipe, I want to say the 1900's possibly. It didn't say.
The pasta is made just as we did in class.
I would say low ND because there's lots of ground beef in it andI know that it's very greasy, however it's okay in moderation.
