Spicy Angel Hair Pasta with Minced Meat Sauce

Of all the pastas, my favourite is Angel Hair which is the thinnest, easy to cook and goes well with a variety of sauces. The meat sauce and the Szechuan Chilli Oil blends very well with this pasta.   Add more chilli oil if you want it to be spicy.

I served this pasta dish with a Mixed Vegetable Salad [see next post]. Together it is a complete meal for lunch or dinner.
The original recipe uses wantan noodles.
