Wasn't sure what to call this. This recipe first came to me from my sister-in-law who said she got it from Weight Watchers. She didn't have exact measurements for most items though so I've worked it into how we like it. It's a lovely dish for cold nights with lovely spicy sweet flavors to compliment the savory meat.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
3 apples, chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, undrained
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 dashes pepper
1 pinch sugar
12 ounces whole wheat pasta (bowtie or spiral works well but use what you love)

Directions

1
Cook pasta according to package directions.
2
While pasta cooks, crumble beef into frying pan and brown with onions and garlic.
3
When pasta is done, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and set aside.
4
Drain fat from the pan of ground beef.
5
Place contents of cans of tomatoes into pan, along with apples and spices.
6
Allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until everything becomes saucy and the apple pieces become tender.
7
Serve sauce over pasta.
8
And leftovers from this are heavenly.
