MAMA'S SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE



Mama's Spaghetti With Meat Sauce image

This is adapted from my mom's spaghetti recipe. It's a family favorite that simmers while you prepare the pasta--great for busy nights. Leftovers make a great lunch. I usually serve this over spaghetti, but sometimes I use linguine, fettucine, or penne. Good with garlicky bread and a salad. You can also make the sauce ahead and freeze it (it freezes quite well); just thaw and heat.

MY MAMA IULIUCCI'S "DON'T SKIP A STEP" SPAGHETTI SAUCE



My Mama Iuliucci's

My mom made this every Sunday for as long as I can remember. I recall coming home from wherever I was and smelling this incredible sauce! I would immediately reach for the Italian bread to start dipping before dinner. My mom always said it wasn't done yet, but I didn't care! My brother would go through a half a loaf of white bread with this sauce before dinner...it was that good. Try to make it exactly as it is written out...you will be pleasantly surprised and your house will smell heavenly! The little bit of extra work is worth it!!!

Time 3h15m

Yield 1 Large pot of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (28 ounce) can tomato puree
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup romano cheese
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
Italian sausage or home-made meatballs
1 -2 spareribs (optional)
leftover cooked chicken thighs or chicken leg (optional)
pepperoni (optional)

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.

JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS SPAGHETTI



Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti image

My kids will give up a steak dinner for this spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I should open a restaurant and serve only this spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to requests, I have posted the recipe for Recipe #28559 that uses approximately 1/2 of the sauce from this recipe. Have spaghetti one night and lasagna later! Thanks to all of you who have tried my recipe and have written a review. I read and appreciate every one of them! Chef Note: After I posted this recipe I remembered a funny incident--my dear husband usually has a nice bottle of wine handy so when I make a batch of spaghetti I just help myself to a splash of it. On one occasion, there wasn't a bottle opened, but there was a bottle sitting on the counter so I got out the corkscrew and helped myself. For some reason, the spaghetti that night was the best ever. My husband asked what wine I put in it and I showed him the bottle. He nearly fell off the chair. I had opened a rather expensive bottle he had bought to give his boss. Goes to show you--don't use a wine for cooking you wouldn't drink. You get the best results from a good wine!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 quarts, 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs Italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups water (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less)
3 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine (a good Cabernet!)
1 lb thin spaghetti
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
  • Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
  • Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
  • Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
  • Stir in red wine.
  • Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
  • Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

MAMA LEONE'S ITALIAN TOMATO SAUCE (GOOD FOR MANY USES)



Mama Leone's Italian Tomato Sauce (Good for Many Uses) image

I grew up across the street from a real Mama Leone-an amazing Irish woman who had an Italian husband and a live-in Italian mother-in-law who taught her to cook. This awesome recipe was a neighbourhood favourite. It has been equally popular with everyone who has ever tasted it. It is an all-purpose Italian sauce. I usually make it for spaghetti and have added optional instructions for that purpose. Without the meat, it is vegan friendly. It's also a good pizza sauce base. You can add other herbs, spices and vegetables if you like, but we have always kept it simple. That's why once it was a lifesaver for a friend who is allergic to garlic. The sauce freezes extremely well.

Time 3h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 ounces tomato sauce (puree)
16 ounces tomato paste (concentrate)
80 ounces water (that's five cans of water from the tomato cans you've used)
3 teaspoons salt (the original recipe called for six, but that is way too salty these days)
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (some friends who make this insist they need to use more cinnamon. I have a very good quality cinnamo)
2 dried hot red chiles (you can substitute chilli flakes about 1/4 teaspoon)
2 bay leaves
2 lbs lean hamburger (optional)
2 medium onions, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Put all ingredients (except the meat and onions) in a large pot.
  • Stir well and bring to a boil. Continue to stir occasionally until it boils, so the cinnamon is incorporated.
  • Reduce to a simmer and cook for three to four hours. Continue to stir occasionally. You can speed up this step, if you leave it on a boil, but I think the flavour improves if it is not rushed.
  • The sauce needs to cook until it bloops-namely until the sauce splashes out of the pot and makes a bit of a mess on the stove top (or wall in my case).
  • Remove and discard the chillies and bay leaves.
  • What to do next if you intend to serve this sauce over pasta. Saute the beef until it loses most of its pink colouring, then add the onions and saute until tender.
  • Drain off any fat.
  • Add meat mixture to cooked sauce and stir well.
  • Heat the mixture well, then ladle over pasta.

MAMA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mama's Spaghetti Sauce image

My mom's standard spaghetti sauce recipe - loved by all. Half of a 28 oz can of Dei Fratelli tomato sauce is used in this recipe, simply because we prefer the brand. If you want to use a 14 1/2 - 15 oz can of another brand, that works too. (Dei Fratelli doesn't sell a smaller can.) This recipe is at it's absolute best the day after making it.
