How to make the best spaghetti ever... for a college student

First Things First: Lets go to the store
Ingredients: The sauce
Ingredients: The Meat
Ingredients: The cheese
Ingredients: The Pasta
Pick up your favorite pasta on your way to the checkout line. It doesn't matter the pasta because it all tastes good. I personally like the rotini pasta. You are also going to need salt for the pasta.
This step is entirely optional for my non-meat eaters out there. But you are going to want to grab some ground beef. To season this you are going to also want Italian seasoning, garlic salf and some oregano
Lots of people love parmesian cheese on their spaghetti. You should just go ahead anf grab some.
02
Pots and Pans
You will need a pot big enough to boil water and a pan that you can cook meat in  (non-meat eaters skip the pan)

This is what you will need
Grab some tomato sauce off that shelf. Go for your favorite since you are the one cooking the spaghetti
In the Kitchen
First Time Pasta boilers... It takes time!
Taking out your pot, fill it up with enough water so the water line will rest about a half inch above your pasta. Turn on the stove and wait until the water boils. Once the water is at a rolling boil (this is when bubbles are floating all over the water), put the pasta along with some salt (so the pasta doesn't stick) in the pot and lower the heat to about a 5 or 6 to maintain the heat without burning the pasta. Make sure to stir it every minute!
03
Put the raw meat into a bowl and mix a 1/4 tsp of each of the spices, oregano and Italian seasoning. After the seasoning is all mixed in, put the meat into the hot pan and stir it with a spatula or overly large spoon until it turns brown. Once the meat is brown, turn the temperature down to a simmer
Heat another part of your stove top to a 5 or 6. Let this heat up. Once your water is boiling and you put the pasta in the pot, you can start on your meat.
Lets cook some meat! Optional for my Veggies out there

While your water is boiling...
From the bowl to the pan
The Sauce- pulling the whole dish together.
2) Putting the now dry pasta into the pot, dump in your jar of tomato sauce and mix the two together.
3) Next grab your simmering meat and pour that into the pot as well. Mix all three together until fully combined. 
4) Separate your final pasta into bowls, sprinkle a little bit of parmesian cheese (optional) and enjoy!

1) Let your pasta boil until it is soft and squishy (as it should be). Once it is ready, dump your pasta and water into a strainer over the sink to get rid of all the water. 
Best served with....
Garlic Bread
A salad of your choice
I prefer Caesar salad with LOTS of crutons!
A cool refreshing glass of your favorite drink
Soup
Like the ones at Olive Garden

I can (almost) guarantee that...
You WON'T beat Bobby Flay
It won't cost too much
You won't get your money back
