My Mamas Garlic Spaghetti Recipes

Steps:

• Spray a large saucepan with 4 sprays of olive oil spray. Add half the garlic and half the onion and a pinch of red chili flakes and cook over medium heat until tender, about 2 minutes. Add half the chicken stock, tomato puree and diced tomatoes and simmer over low heat for an hour.
• Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, using the tip of a knife, score the eggplant deeply and sprinkle with salt. Place the eggplant cut-side up and cook under the broiler until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Remove the eggplant from the broiler and place on a plate and microwave on high until tender, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
• In a large bowl, add the meats and mix gently to incorporate. Place the egg white, remaining chicken stock, onion, garlic and parsley in the beaker of a blender and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the mixture to the bowl with the meats, add the cheese and crumble the kamut in with your fingers. Sprinkle with salt and chili flakes.
• Scoop the eggplant pulp out of its skin and let any excess water drip off. Measure out 1/2 cup of the pulp, and then lightly chop and add to the meat mixture, folding in to incorporate. With the use of a tablespoon, measure out 16 even heaping mounds on to a clean work surface and then form into balls with your hands.
• Spray a large nonstick saute pan with 4 sprays of olive oil spray and heat over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add half of the meatballs and cook until lightly browned on one side, about 1 minute. Roll the meatballs on the other side and brown evenly, about 2 minutes. Remove the browned meatballs from the pan and then spray the pan with 4 more sprays and repeat the browning with the rest of the meatballs. Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer very slowly for an hour.
• Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of water to a simmer and then add 1 tablespoon of salt. Drop the pasta in the water and cook per manufacturer's instructions. Place 4 meatballs each on 4 plates, and then add the spaghetti to the remaining sauce in the pan with 1/2 cup of the pasta water and cook until the sauce holds well on the pasta. Evenly distribute the pasta to each of the 4 plates.

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet over low heat, cook garlic in oil until lightly browned. Remove from the heat; stir in parsley, oregano, salt and pepper. Drain spaghetti; place in a large bowl. Add garlic mixture and Parmesan cheese; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in a large stockpot and cook the pasta until tender but firm, about 9 minutes. Drain in a colander and toss with the olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Heat the bacon fat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Chinese sausage and cook, stirring, until fragrant and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and reserve.
• Saute the garlic and onions in the same skillet over medium-high heat until the onions are slightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ground pork and cook until the meat is brown and any juice from the meat has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until the paste is slightly brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree and banana ketchup. Stir to combine and blend the flavors. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened like Bolognese, about 15 minutes.
• Add the porcini powder and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the reserved sausage. Pour the sauce over the pasta and finish with the Cheddar.

Steps:

• Brown Ground Beef, drain.
• In separate pan, saute Onion and Garlic in olive oil.
• Combine Onion and Garlic with Ground Beef in stock pot.
• Salt and Pepper to taste.
• Over medium heat: Add spices and Bay Leaves.
• Add the rest of the Ingredients.
• Add water to taste (I use about a half to a whole can).
• Simmer on low - med for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Break up whole tomatoes while cooking.
• Serve over your favorite pasta. We typically use vermicelli or angel hair.

Steps:

• Combine tomato products in large stock pot or dutch oven.
• Add a 28 ounce can of water and stir.
• Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
• Sprinkle with sugar, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley and grated cheese and stir to combine.
• In a frying pan, heat about 1/4" of vegetable oil and fry up your sausage or meatballs until cooked through.
• Add the meat to the simmering sauce, along with any optional meats (recommended) mentioned in ingredients.
• Now, this is an important, not to be left out, step: Add chopped onions and garlic to pan that meat was fried in.
• Do not drain anything before adding onions and garlic-- there should be some drippings/oil left in the pan!
• Fry onions and garlic until tender and aromatic.
• Remove pan from heat.
• Another important step, not to be left out: Add about 1/2 cup water to the pan and swish around, combining the leftover drippings and onion and garlic.
• Pour and scrape it all into the simmering sauce.
• Stir to combine.
• Let simmer for 3 hours or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally.
• I keep mine only half way covered, so it cooks down and gets thick and rich.
• Remove pepperoni, chicken and ribs if used.
• Remove meat from bones of chicken and ribs and add back to sauce in small shreds.
• Discard pepperoni, eat it, or chop it up and add it back to sauce.
• Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy.
