  • 3
    In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in gingerroot and salt; cook 1 minute longer.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Thai red curry paste can be found in the Asian-foods section of most grocery stores. Add the lower amount first until you've tasted it—it's spicy!
  • tip 2
    If you will be using leftover spaghetti or making the spaghetti ahead of time, toss with 2 teaspoons sesame oil to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
