Goulash with pasta
Description
A hearty, wholesome dish perfect for lunch or dinner. Today I'm making pork goulash, but you can use beef or any other boneless, sinew-free meat. We'll sear the meat until it develops a golden crust, then add onion and flour, and simmer gently in tomato sauce. The result will be fragrant, nourishing, and absolutely delicious! Cook the pasta separately—it will go perfectly with the tender, juicy meat in its vibrant, appetizing sauce. Let's get started.

Step 2
You can cook the pasta while preparing the goulash. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, add a little salt, then add the pasta and stir immediately to prevent sticking to the bottom. Cook the pasta over medium heat until fully done. The cooking time should be indicated on the package. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander to remove excess liquid.
