Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Recently , I 've been getting more and more interested in cooking . In fact , just last week , I decided that I would make spaghetti . Since my parents do n't like spaghetti , though , I only made enough to feed my younger brother and I . I cooked some ground beef in a pan , and drained the grease when it was done . Then , I added the sauce to the meat , and let it simmer in the pan for a few minutes . While this was simmering , I took out a box of uncooked spaghetti noodles and emptied it into a separate pot of boiling water . The noodles eventually all became soft , and once I noticed they were properly cooked , I emptied the pot into a strainer . The strainer is a special dish with holes in it , which make sure that the dish catches the hot pasta , and the water goes down the drain . Now that both the sauce and pasta were done , I put the pasta on plates , poured sauce over it , and called my brother over for dinner . Question: When did they prepare the meat? Option1: Before cooking the spaghetti noodles. Option2: After cooking the noodles.
Output (English): Before cooking the spaghetti noodles.
