Sometimes you want something different. I love to eat spaghetti, Americanized goulash, cheesy beefmac, and so on. So I just put this 2 pot meal together. I don't know if anyone else eats this or made it before or something similar. It is an alternative to every- now-and-again dishes. When the children were growing up it was pretty much routine. Sunday; chicken and dumplings, Monday; spaghetti or American goulash, Tuesday; Hamburgers, Wednesday; Macaroni and cheese with hotdogs; Thursday; frozen pizza and tater tots, Friday; fish, or fast food if we could afford it, Saturday; sandwiches and salad.
So when I got around to cooking myself I haven't wanted to get into routine meals. I wanted to let my imagination and God's inspiration lead me to making different recipes. Whatever is in my heart and if I can get the ingredients I try to cook. This is one such meal. I hope yall give it a go.

Steps

1

Cook the pasta as directed on package. Reserve 1 cup pasta water in case needed for thickening. Add parsley to pasta when removed from water, and toss.
2

Dice the onion and slice the celery. Heat a deep pan and add the ground beef, onion, and celery. Sauté add in the spices. Sauté till celery is tender, onion is translucent, and beef is browned.
3

Add the flour to the beef and vegetables. Stir and allow to cook for 8 minutes. Add the beef broth. Stir often till the broth thickens. If too thick or to thin use the pasta water. Add salt to taste, and pepper, do this after the pasta water if needed because it will be a little salty.
4

When the gravy is where you like it on thickness add the pasta. Stir in gently. Coating all the elbows. Taste, adjust salt if needed. Add peas stir in gently but well. Cover and allow to rest 8 minutes. Serve, I hope you enjoy!!!! The bread is the olive oil bread I made the other day, the first one I ever braided.
