I had friends who did that every Sunday. Never any leftover meat for sandwiches.

Prayers and healing AMEN

I’m Italian you never put your pasta in the water you have to boil the water first. You also have to salt the water it’s supposed to taste like sea salt. I’ve been to Italy 🇮🇹 10 times .

Me too

Everybody does it their own way .

I’ve never, ever seen anyone cook pasta bringing the water to boil with the pasta. Interesting?

That is a great idea!!

I also add about 1/4 C sugar, for a really large stock pot, most chefs add sugar to pretty much anything that has a tomatoe paste to cut the acidity. It doesn't really make the sauce sweet as it's a small amount in a ration perspective but it really makes the sauce smoother if you will, with less "bite" from the acid in the tomatoes :) I add mashed /puree sweet potato, a handful of minced spinach, minced carrots, sweet red peppers, mushrooms - the veggies help boost the veg content of the meal and most kids don't even know any of those things are in there as I mince them very fine. I make my sauce in the big pot on the stove but once I have it all together I transfer to a slow cooker then let it cook on low for 8 hours...then you develop those deep rich flavours that you get at a restaurant... so delicious!

I'll have to remember that.

PS. we are about to start a food pantry in our basement too. I already have a non food stock down there but food is a must too!!!

do microwave it to defrost / thaw it? Or to actually cook it!?

@@oliviae2176 defrost. She said it was frozen. If hamburger was actually cooked in the microwave it would be a hard lump 🤢

You can also put it (if it's wrapped in plastic wrap or a baggie) into a sink full of cold water, the cold water helps to begin to draw the frost out of the meat, once I have a little bit thawed of the ground beef I just throw it in my pan, it will cook on one side, flip it, scrap off what has become loosened/ began to cook, just keep repeating this process, flip the big chunk of meat, scrap off what has started to cook, flip again. This is the fastest method to brown ground beef that is still frozen, much faster than defrosting in the microwave. But you do have to stand and tend the beef so it doesn't sit on one side too long. The meat chopper like she used is awesome, I got mine off Amazon!

It was frozen That's why it was in the microwave

Bahahhhahha

I was expecting a comment or few like this when I saw her breaking pasta lol

Accurate

Me too, I yelled out WHAAT?!! ! haha But Heather has to make 3 lbs fit into that pot so I guess that's the best way for her.

Lol, I break my pasta too!

I'm italiano, and i can Say that 's right.

No you have not been. The whole cooking of this is…interesting. I’m sure you salt yourself pasta too!

No, you are doing it properly... however...a fed family...is a happy family :) if they like their pasta made this way..then all the power to this Mumma to make her pasta anyway she wants :) I have one child ...ONE ...and dang if some nights after making my dinner, his, his Dad's (yup, we all usually eat different meals- we all have various health issues that make this a necessity, I don't really mind)...but some nights it's all I have in me is a grill cheese, chicken soup broth ( I try to make my own and free in 1 cup dishes) and a few baked low fat, low salt chips and a homemade gf cookie..dats it...sometimes that all she wrote over here so I stand in judgement of no Momma, ever. Most especially one who has 8 children who, to me...all look well fed, happy and healthy! But...the directions on any pasta will say to bring your water to a boil, then add pasta and each type of pasta will take different cook times- almost always this will be indicated on the side of the box. Some people like to salt their water, I don't. We try to use as little salt as possible in our cooking, and my son like to have fresh hymilian pink salt fresh cracked on his 8 noodles , lol. He is just getting into noodles, so he literally puts on macaroni noodle on his spoon with his sauce, it's quite funny to see :)

You are right- always boil the water before adding pasta otherwise it gets mushy. I

@@makeuplover6852 oh my goodness! No judgement here! I just was being funny (and legitimately curious if I was doing it wrong and maybe this turns out better). I have 6 kids, 4 of them adult boys, and I have mad respect for Heather’s cooking. The younger years of all the kids I was stuck in a rut of just a few different dishes on repeat, because they were the meals that at least 5 out of the 6 would eat lol. I truly wish I had KZfaq and mama Bell back in those days for her amazing (and easy!) recipe ideas! I absolutely love this family.

Why you say have patience she has alot if a family of 10 and stuff Some people need to be in her shoes for a day. Just saying

What does this mean???

Tf did you try sayin? Are you telling her to sell her daughter then teach her to make sauce ? I'm so CONFUSED!

My daughter uses junk mail for fireplace fire starters.

She's cooking for a lot of people. She has eight kids.

Thawing meat in the microwave is not a big deal if you’re in a hurry. I prefer to do mine in cold water or overnight in the fridge if I’m really on my A game & remember.
