Steps:

You need to start by doing the following in parallel: brown the hamburger and make the sauce. In a large saute pan (I recommend 5 quart) start browning the hamburger on low to medium heat. Be careful not to over-brown it before you dump in the sauce. In a 2.5qt sauce pan start warming up the Tomato Sauce and Paste. Warm up and stir the paste until it breaks down. Add in the spices and just keep stirring it together. Make sure the hamburger doesn't over-brown! Once you don't see any pink in the hamburger, dump in the sauce and mix together. You want to simmer this, and stir occasionally for at least 10-15 minutes. This is one of those things where the longer you simmer the better. You can add small amounts of water to keep it moist if it dries out. You can start boiling your water for the noodles any time. At sea level, spaghetti noodles take me exactly 12 minutes to cook. Make sure you add Olive Oil to the noodle water, and salt only after it's boiling. After the noodles are cooked, dump out drain, and rinse with cold water thoroughly. After rinsed, I usually run hot water over them to warm them up. Or sometimes I just put the pot back on the burner for a few seconds. Serve and enjoy! Thanks Dad.
