MIKE'S ITALIAN GRANDMA'S PASTA SAUCE



Mike's Italian Grandma's Pasta Sauce image

My husband learned this from a sweet Italian Grandma from Palermo while they were on a train together in Germany. She had married a German soldier during the war, and now that he had passed she was bringing him to his family for the first time since he had left as a young soldier. Note: Cooking time only includes prep time as simmering varies according to method.

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 1 cup servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

64 ounces tomato sauce, plain or pre-seasoned
4 teaspoons oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic or 6 garlic cloves
1 lb Italian sausage, browned
1 lb ground beef, browned
1 cup red wine
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Brown your meat and drain off the excess fat. Add all the ingredients together. My hubby likes to put this all in the crock pot and slowcook it for about 6 hours. You could also simmer it stovetop for maybe an hour or so if you're in a hurry. Delicious. We serve this with tortellini or spaghetti and our pickiest kids can't get enough. They also request bread to sop up the extra.
  • Note: Of course you can used canned tomatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato puree or even fresh. Just cook longer and add a pinch of sugar.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces pancetta or thick bacon, diced
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (2 1/2 ounces) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 pound spaghetti

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the pancetta and cook until it is browned and the fat has rendered, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and keep warm.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, cheese, and pepper until uniform. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with water and add enough salt so the water tastes like seawater. Bring the water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the directions on the package until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking liquid.
  • Drain the pasta, transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and add the pancetta, along with all the fat from the pan. Toss the pasta with the egg-cheese mixture and the pancetta until the eggs are cooked and the pasta is coated and creamy, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
