Combine the first ten ingredients in a bowl. Let stand at room temperature for an hour.

Cook the pasta according to the package directions, omitting any salt and fat; drain.

Brown the ground beef w/ the seasonings listed after it. Drain fat. I used whatever herbs I had on hand and the following spices: onion powder, garlic powder, garam masala.

Add the pasta & beef along with the tomato sauce to the tomato mixture and toss well. Garnish with fresh basil sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
