KITTENCAL'S DELICIOUS MEATY PASTA SAUCE



Kittencal's Delicious Meaty Pasta Sauce image

I don't think you will find a better meat sauce than this one! a good tomato sauce needs time to "ripen" so I strongly suggest to make this sauce a few day ahead and refrigerate just warm in a saucepan before using you will see that the flavors strongly intensify after refrigeration time --if you want a creamy sauce just add in 1/4 cup or more of heavy whipping cream the last 30 minutes of cooking time, this may be doubled if desired but keep the ground beef amount at one pound, this also freezes well... you will *love* this!

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/3 cup olive oil (or use enough sauce to coat the bottom of your skillet)
3 teaspoons dried basil
3 teaspoons oregano
1 -2 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 large bay leaf
1 medium onion, finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped tablespoons (or to taste, I like lots of garlic!)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups good-quality beef broth
3/4 lb button mushroom (or use a couple cans whole drained mushrooms, but fresh is better!)
1 -2 teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
1 tablespoon salt (or to taste a good tomato sauce needs lots of salt)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
fresh grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven heat oil, then add in the basil, oregano, chili flakes, bay leaf and onion; saute, stirring with a wooden spoon for about 4 minutes (this will release the flavors in the spices).
  • Add in garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add in tomato paste and cook stirring with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes.
  • Add in ground beef and sausage meat; cook until well browned (about 10 minutes) drain any fat.
  • Add in the wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring.
  • Add in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, mushrooms, sugar, 2 tablespoons salt, Worcestershire sauce; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer partially covered for about 2 hours (or you can simmer for longer on low heat).
  • Season with black pepper.
  • Remove the bay leaf and serve over hot cooked pasta then sprinkle with lots grated Parmesan cheese.

UNCLE SAM'S MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Uncle Sam's Meaty Spaghetti Sauce image

This recipe is handed down a generation from an ex Navy cook who passed it to me. I have been making this as is for a while now but I misplaced the original recipe so I may be off just a bit...

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 3h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs ground meat (choose chicken for lighter diets, beef or a beef pork mixture for hearty sauces)
2 cups diced onions
1 cup diced bell pepper (any color is fine, I prefer red as it is sweeter than green normally)
4 -8 garlic cloves, crushed and diced to taste (make sure you can smell the garlic over the onions when cooking, if you can't add more)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 (4 ounce) cans hunts tomato paste
3 (12 ounce) cans hunts tomato puree
2 tablespoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons basil
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1 cup fresh mushrooms (optional)
1 lb sausage (optional)
1 lb meatballs (use your favorite recipe) (optional)

Steps:

  • (If you choose purely beef for the primary meat, the sausage OR meatballs is good. If you choose chicken, use a good chicken sausage to not throw the meats into conflict. If you use ground pork, I don't recommend using any other meats).
  • Take diced onions, garlic and peppers and sauté in the olive oil. I usually take a pinch or two of the salt and throw it in here as well.
  • Once all the onions are translucent, scoop all the veggies out and put in a bowl on the side. In the same pan with no additional oil, sauté the meats you chose. Brown until almost all the red is gone, but leave just a little bit as this will cause the meat to release a bit more fat into the sauce.
  • Drain the meat. I actually put the meat in a metal strainer and lightly rinse under cold water in the sink to get rid of most of the fat (which is why you leave just a bit red).
  • Once done, combine all the ingredients cooked so far back in a large sauce pot.
  • Add all the cans of tomato products and then using one of the 4 oz. cans of paste, fill with water twice and put into the pot with everything else. Mix all ingredients in the pot well, blending the water into the tomato paste and puree.
  • Begin with high heat to get the entire mixture bubbling. (Use a screen strainer over the top of the pot to prevent it from splattering your stove or you).
  • Once bubbling turn the heat down to a low medium flame. I recommend a heat displacer if you have one to prevent burning the sauce.
  • Once simmering, put all the spices on top of the sauce, spreading around the top and stick the bay leaves into the sauce.
  • Let it sit on top for a while, some of the meat oils will surface on the sauce and mix with the spices. Once this happens, blend all the spices into the sauce with a wooden spoon (to be like Pa) --.
  • Stirring frequently, cook for about 3 hours.
  • This sauce will actually taste best 24 to 36 hours later, so if you can, plan ahead.
  • Serve over spaghetti, ravioli or use as your sauce in lasagna.

LINDA'S MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Linda's Meaty Spaghetti Sauce image

My own creation that I started making many moons ago. It's a great sauce, with LOTS of flavor packed into one pan! Peppers and Tabasco give it just a slight kick, but you can adapt it to your liking. You can also add 1 c. good red wine if you like, at the same time you add the tomatoes. I add water 1/2 c. at a time during cooking time, so sauce doesn't get too thick. Depending on how long you decide to cook it, depends on how much water to add. The more you cook it the tastier it is.

Time 4h25m

Yield 1 lg. batch, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (102 ounce) can tomato puree
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
1 (16 ounce) container mushrooms, sliced
2 lbs hamburger (or 1 lb hamburger and 1 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage)
1 lb italian sweet sausage or 1 lb hot Italian sausage link
4 large onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
7 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon red hot pepper
1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • In a lg. pot saute onions with basil and Italian seasoning, then add hamburger. Cook until meat is no longer pink in the middle. When done, drain all the grease. Set aside.
  • Cook sausage links separately, and after cooked, cut up into bite size pieces. Set aside. When cool, refrigerate until about 1/2 hour before sauce is done, then add to sauce. (This helps the sauce from becoming greasy).
  • Add tomato puree, tomato paste, mushrooms, hot sauce and peppers to meat mixture. Mix well.
  • Add the Red wine, if using.
  • Add salt to taste, starting with 1 T.
  • Cook on med. heat until sauce comes to a boil, then cook 4-6 hours covered, on low heat so it will slightly bubble while cooking, or until desired thickness.
  • Stir every once in awhile, so the sauce and meat doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • A 1/2 hour before serving add sausage from the fridge, and heat until sausage are nice and hot, and sauce is bubbling.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta.
  • Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired, and enjoy!
