How To Make pasta without tomato

  • Step 1
    Use a 2-cup pyrex to measure out 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups of mixed pasta; break about 1 ounce of long spaghetti in halves or thirds; place in the cup, and add enough of the rotini (about 2 ounces) to make up the difference.
  • Step 2
    Cook pastas together; spaghetti will be over-cooked, and the starch will act as a binder.
  • Step 3
    While the pasta is cooking, brown beef; remove fat as it appears.
  • Step 4
    When meat is no longer pink, then add olive oil and onions and fry, stirring, to soften and sweat the onions.
  • Step 5
    Add garlic, mushrooms, parsley, and the Italian seasoning and blend.
  • Step 6
    Continue cooking and stirring until mushrooms are warmed (not limp).
  • Step 7
    Remove from heat but keep warm.
  • Step 8
    Drain the pasta but do not rinse.
  • Step 9
    Put pasta back in the pot used to cook it.
  • Step 10
    Add the hamburger mixture.
  • Step 11
    Make a well in the center of the spaghetti mixture and working quickly, mix the egg and extra oil.
  • Step 12
    Using moderately high heat, quickly pour the egg mixture into the well and stir, constantly, to both coat the pasta, and to cook the egg.
  • Step 13
    Season with basil, oregano and pepper.
  • Step 14
    Add the parmesan and optional cilantro.
