Egyptian Kosharie (Pasta with Tomato Sauce)

When Dustin and I were in Egypt this was his favorite meal he grew up with. Its simple and very tasty. It may not sound so enticing but I promise you it is. I make him huge pans of this when he goes out to work and he is such a happy camper! So if you are feeling adventurous give this a try, its actually Italian!
