Step 2
Cook the pasta (preferably made from durum wheat) in slightly salted water until done. To prevent the pasta from falling apart, remove it from the heat immediately after the water comes to a boil, cover with a lid, wrap with a towel, and let it sit for 15 minutes. Stir once or twice to prevent sticking. Drain the cooked pasta in a colander and rinse under cold water.

Sauté the ground pork in vegetable oil, stirring constantly so that the meat doesn't clump together and turn into a patty, but remains crumbly.
