Carne Guisada com Massa
Carne Guisada com Massa
A true winter classic, but I can eat this all year round! The more you cook the meat, on low, the more tender it will be. I went with angel hair pasta here, but you can use regular spaghetti. My mom used to make this traditional Portugal dish all the time, and we would eat it up, and then soak it up with bread. Delicious, right?
