Note
I use lean ground beef, but any cut can be used. Just remember to drain any excess fat.
As mentioned in the ingredients, we use rotini noodles, but any type of noodle can be used.
Pizza sauce can be omitted and marinara or pasta sauce can be used in place of the tomato sauce.
Again, the toppings are only my favourite, feel free to use the toppings of your choice.
