Recipe Notes

Use ground beef, turkey, or chicken in place of ground pork.

Use any type of pasta. The shorter noodles work best, such as ziti, rotini, or macaroni.

Add spices for added flavor such as 1 teaspoon Italian spices, 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add these with the pork and onion.
