Add the onions, then the garlic after.

3. Once meat broken up and nearly done cooking, throw in the tomato sauce and tomato paste.
4. At this point throw in salt, pepper, Worcester sauce, and sweet chili sauce and begin to season appropriately. Also at this time begin to boil the water for the pasta. |
