In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the ground beef and fry for 8 minutes, or until it changes color completely and the liquid has evaporated.
Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and tomato, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the tomato begins to break down. Add the salt, AJI-NO-MOTO®, pasta, water, bay leaf, and basil, and mix. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until al dente.
