I've been eyeing this recipe for 3 years.  I want to make it but have been holding off.
 
So—is it sort-of a stew texture?

Served in a bowl?

It has pasta in it so you don't serve it over anything?

The answer to all your questions is yes.
Just make the sauce.
Boil the pasta al dente.
I add more of the sauce than I posted in the recipe but mix it to your ratio you like.

Try it.
This is one of our favorite.

Hope you like it.
Let me know.

So would 2 lb of pasta be good for the whole batch ?
Then you could freeze ready-made meals.

Also, I assume the Diced tomatoes with green chili are the 10 oz. Rotel size?
Are the other two tomato types 28 oz. cans?

Thanks

All cans are 15.5 oz. 
I guess you could freeze it with the pasta in it but I like the frozen sauce thawed with fresh pasta.

This is how I make it but everybody can adjust to their own taste.

It is good to start with a baseline, then adjust from there...

Thanks...

This recipe is very similar to the meat sauce that I serve over pasta, the major difference are the spices (basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, fennel seeds and bay leaf) and I add red wine, mushrooms and black olives. I make it in large batches and freeze dinner size portions. I don't normally combine the pasta but there are some advantages to doing so, for one, if you slightly under cook the pasta  and simmer it a bit before serving, the sauce will pernitrate and stick better.

I know this is a dumb question.

Would one pour off the grease from the browned meat or just allow it to cook into the onions, peppers and celery?

Okay maybe more than 1 question.

The cans of tomatoes, are they the 3" round cans or the 5" round cans, sizes questimated there.

Here is my two cents on this question.  I usually throw in some dry ranch powder seasoning and keep the fat in the meat.  My wife pours it off.  I think it helps the flavor and keeps the sauce thicker.

I keep the grease in the sauce. Let it cook with the vegetables.
The can size are the smaller 15.5 oz cans.
