To prepare, you will typically brown ground beef in a skillet. Once the beef is cooked, you drain off any excess fat. Then, you add the contents of this package along with a specified amount of water to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
