Techniques

American goulash: browning the beef dry
- minced garlic
- salt
- black pepper
- cayenne pepper
- paprika
- dry Italian herb mix
- 1½ whole bay leaves
Add the garlic, salt, black pepper, cayenne, paprika, Italian herbs and bay leaves; cook 3 to 4 minutes to saute the garlic and wake up the spices.
- 1 quart chicken broth
- diced tomatoes
- 1 jar prepared marinara sauce
- 1 cup cold water
- soy sauce
Add the broth, diced tomatoes, marinara, the jar-rinsing water and the soy sauce; bring back to a simmer.
Lower to medium and simmer about 30 minutes so the flavours go into the liquid before the pasta. Skim the fat if wanted.
- 2 cup elbow macaroni
Raise to medium-high; when boiling, add the macaroni and cook about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring every two to three minutes, until just tender - not al dente.
- freshly chopped Italian parsley
- shredded cheddar cheese
Off the heat, stir in parsley and cheddar, cover and rest 5 minutes.
