Now add the ground beef and season it with salt and pepper. Cook that until the beef is browed and break it into small pieces with your spatula or spoon. If the beef produces a lot of grease drain in from the skillet.

Step 4

Next add the white wine and turn the heat up to high. Let the wine gently boil of a minute or two.

Step 5

Then reduce the heat to medium high and add the crushed tomatoes. Season them with salt, pepper and the rest of the italian seasoning and garlic powder. Stir everything together and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the sauce stirring occasionally while the pasta cooks.

Stir the pasta water into the sauce and add the pasta to it also. Gently toss the pasta into the sauce and serve warm.
