How to spend 70 minutes preparing a 10 minute meal

this took an hour longer than it could/should have...

2/3 cup semolina + 1 1/3 cup 00 flour + 2 tbl EVOO + 2 eggs + as much water as necessary to make a slightly damp dough. knead until smooth, rest for 30 minutes in cling film.

cut a chuck steak into 1" cubes, place in freezer for 20 minutes.

EVOO + 1/2 onion, finely diced + 1 tsp red pepper flakes over medium until translucent. add 28 oz can whole tomatoes (that you've crushed), simmer on low for 20 minutes. (this is a basic spicy marinara)

at this point i ground the beef, browned and seasoned w/ salt and dried oregano. i added it to the marinara for an extremely lazy meat sauce (didn't have sausage/pancetta/fresh herbs on hand).

flatten the dough into a rough rectangle, pass through pasta roller several time until desired thickness (i used the four setting) then pass through spaghetti cutter. boil for one minute.

combine, top w/ freshly grated parmigiano reggiano, serve w/ a handful of baguette and a dry red wine.

alternative (i.e. how i used to make this meal in college): boil dried spaghetti for seven minutes, add a jar of prego, top w/ kraft parmesan. serve with miller lite.
