  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Add some spice: Chili beef pasta is a great dish to add some spice to. You can use chili powder, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes to taste. Just be careful not to overdo it, or the dish will be too spicy.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Chili beef pasta is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
