Preparation

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven, cook meat over med-heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks into small pieces. Cook until the meat is cooked through and there's no longer any pink. Stir in onions and garlic. Cook and stir the mixture until the onions are translucent. Stir in water, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, soy sauce, oregano, basil, bay leaves, seasoned salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over med-heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in pasta, cover and simmer over low-heat until the pasta is tender, about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, discard bay leaves and refrigerate, if possible, overnight. {If you must, you could serve}
