CHEF JOHN'S SUNDAY PASTA SAUCE



Chef John's Sunday Pasta Sauce image

This sauce goes by many names, including Sunday sauce, since that's the day it's traditionally made, but for me growing up, this was just called 'sauce.' As long as you cook the meat long enough, and season thoughtfully, there's really no way this sauce isn't going to be great. So, while you may not have grown up in an Italian-American home, with this comforting sauce simmering on the stove every Sunday, your family still can. Serve the sauce over pasta and top with the tender meat.

Time 4h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (1 inch thick) slice beef shank
2 pounds pork spareribs
2 bone-in chicken thighs
1 onion, diced
1 pinch salt
6 cloves garlic
3 (28 ounce) cans crushed Italian (plum) tomatoes (such as San Marzano)
2 cups water, divided
¼ cup tomato paste
¼ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Place beef, pork, and chicken in pan and turn to coat with olive oil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until meat is well browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion with a pinch of salt in hot oil until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour crushed tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups water, and tomato paste into onion mixture. Add roasted beef, pork, and chicken to tomato sauce mixture.
  • Pour remaining 1/2 cup water into the roasting pan, and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour roasting pan water mixture into tomato mixture. Stir Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Italian parsley, 2 teaspoons salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes into tomato sauce; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until sauce reduces and meat is tender, about 4 hours. Transfer meat to a dish. Adjust sauce seasonings to taste.

PORK AND CARROT PASTA SAUCE

An Italian friend who is a wonderful cook first introduced me to carrot pasta sauce. I don't have her recipe, but have developed this one of my own. My kids don't enjoy tomato sauce--this is a pleasing alternative.

CARROT PASTA SAUCE



Carrot Pasta Sauce image

The fresh ingredients and the short cooking time, make this a perfect light summer pasta dish. I found this recipe online claiming to be a fake tomato sauce. It doesn't taste like tomato, but then again it doesn't really taste like carrot either. The way all of the flavors mesh, it's really an indescribable flavor. Everyone seems pretty skeptical until they try it.
