directions
This recipe works well when prepared in batches.
Brown the ground beef and onions in Dutch ovens or other deep pots over medium-high heat until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two.
Stir the tomato puree, dry mustard, tomato paste, brown sugar, salt and desired spices into the beef. Heat until the mixture bubbles then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for at least 30 minutes or up to two hours.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in boiling water until al dente. Drain well.
Serve the pasta topped with the sauce.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
