Pizza and Pasta may have originated in Italy but are consumed everywhere in the world in diverse varieties. This is also true in Iran. In Iran pasta in its italian form (Iranians use different shapes of noodles in soups and even mixed in rice dishes), entered Iran sometime during the early 20th century. Like many other new foods, it immediately got an Iranian kick to it. The ingredients are almost the same, the main difference probably is that the pasta is prepared like a chelow or polow, partially cooked then drained and steamed with the meat sauce. How we eat this pasta is a different story. Some people like me preffer it to taste sour, so I sqeeze some lemon or lime juice on my pasta, but for the majority of people who like it more on the sweet side, they eat it with ketchup. I can't forget the look on my American friends' faces when they saw my sister put some ketchup on her pasta. It might be an odd combination, but I suggest you try it out. It's not really that bad.
1 onion thinly sliced
4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 pound ground beef
6 ounces tomatoe paste
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 pound spaghetti
1 pound spaghetti
Directions
In a saute pan fry the onions in vegetable oil until brown. Add the minced garlic and turmeric and saute for another minute. Add the ground beef and using the back of a wooden spoon break up the meat until brown. Mix in the tomatoe paste, saute for a minute and cover with 1 to 2 cups of water until it reaches a sauce consistency. Add the lemon juice and thyme, adjust the salt and pepper, and let the sauce simmer covered for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instruction. Drain the pasta and place the empty pat over the heat again, until all the water from the bottome of the pot evaporates. Add about 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the pot and let the oil get hot. Take some pasta and add it to the pot, then cover it with some meat sauce. Repeat these steps, adding pasta and meat sauce in alternating layers. Shape the pasta into a pyramid. Place a dish towel or 3 layers of paper towel over pot and firmly cover the pot with its lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 40 minutes.

یک سوال، شما هنوز هم ماکارونی رو با کچاپ میخورن یا نه؟
فکر نمیکنم هیچ جای دنیا بغیر از ایران ماکارونی را با کچاپ بخورن. چند سال پیش چند تا از دوستهای آمریکاییم اومدن خونمون و جای شما خالی ما ناهار ماکارونی داشتیم. قیافه دوستهام یادم نمیره وقتی نرگس داشت روی مکارونیش کچاپ میریخت. همشون حاج و واج مونده بودن و وقتی خودشون امتحان کردن به این نتیجه رسیدن که این معجون به ذائقه اونها نمیخوره. خلاصه چه ماکارونی رو با کچاپ میخورن یا نه، باید اعتراف کنیم که ماکارونی جزو محبوبترین غذاهای بچگیمون هست، در حقیقت من هیچ کسی رو نمیشناسم که تو بچگیش از ماکارونی خوشش نمیومد.
مواد لازم
پیاز خلال شده یک عدد
سیر له شده ۴ حبه
زرد چوبه ۱ قاشق چایخوری
گوشت چرخ کرده، نیم کیلو
رب گوجه فرنگی، ۱۰۰ گرم
آب یک لیمو
پودر آویشن خشک ۱ قاشق مربا خوری
ماکارونی، یک بسته ۵۰۰ گرمی
طرز تهیه
پیاز را با کمی روغن تفت دهید تا سرخ شود. سیر و زرد چوبه را اضافه کنید و یک دقیقه دیگر تفت دهید. گوشت چرخ کرده را اضافه کنید و گوشت را تفت دهید تا قهوه ای شود. رب گوجه فرنگی را اضافه کنید کمی تفت دهید. یک تا دو لیوان آب به گوشت اضافه کنید تا جایی که مایه به حالت سس در بیاید. آب لیمو، آویشن و نمک و فلفل را اضافه کنید. در قابلمه را بگذارید، حرارت را کم کنید تا مایه جا بیفتد. حدود ۳۰ دقیقه.
در این مدت در یک قابلمه بزرگ آب را به جوش بیاورید. حدود دو قاشق مربا خوری نمک به آب اضافه کنید. ماکارونی را به آب اضافه کنید و حدود ۱۰ دقیقه بپزید، تا ماکارونی بپزد ولی هنوز کمی زیر دندان بیاید. ماکارونی را آبکش کنید. قابلمه را دوباره روی اجاق بگذارید و حرارت را زیاد کنید تا آب قابلمه بخار شود، حدود ۴/۱ پیمانه روغن به قابلمه اضافه کنید، و وقتی روغن داغ شد کمی از ماکارونی را تو قابلمه بریزید و روی آنرا با کمی سس بپوشانید. این مرحله را ادامه دهید تا تمام ماکارونی و سس آن تمام شود. شعله زیر قابلمه را کم کنید و روی در آن را با دم کنی یا ۳ لایه دستمال حوله ای بپوشانید، بگذارید تا ۴۰ دقیقه دم بکشد.
