4. Break up ground beef into an even layer. Season generously with cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and chili powder (optional)
5. Once the beef is finished cooking, your pasta water should be boiling. Transfer beef to a new bowl/plate and drain excess juices from the pan. Do NOT rinse the pan. 
6. Dump uncooked pasta into boiling water
