Once you've paired this sauce with all sorts of vegetables and proteins, reinvent it. Try adding chopped toasted nuts, minced tender herbs, spices (such as cumin, turmeric, or coriander), and/or finely chopped dried fruit (like raisins, apricots, and/or dates).

ALL DAY VERSATILE SAUCE

I have found that cooking your sauce all day like my father taught me is the best way. In addition to that, I make my sauce this way whether I am making linguine, stuffed shells or lasagna. I like to utilize convenience whenever possible so I use pre minced and jarred herbs. You can use what ever your preference is for meat, whether it be ground turkey meatballs or chicken Italian sausage. It will always be a hit with your family and friends! Try serving with your favorite pasta.

SUNDAY SAUCE



Sunday Sauce image

In many Italian American households, Sunday means there's red sauce simmering all day on the stove. It might be called sauce, sugo or gravy, and surely every family makes it differently, but the result is always a tomato sauce rich with meat. This recipe (which you can also make in a slow cooker) follows a classic route of using shreddy pork shoulder, Italian sausage and meatballs. Once the sauce is done, coat pasta in the sauce, spoon some meat on top and share it with the whole family alongside a green salad, crusty bread and red wine. The sauce can keep refrigerated for up to one week and frozen for up to three months.

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds boneless pork shoulder, cut into 3-inch chunks
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 pound hot or sweet Italian sausage, or a combination
1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/3 cup red wine
2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
3 basil sprigs
1 pound uncooked homemade or store-bought meatballs
1 1/2 pounds tubular or long noodles, like rigatoni or spaghetti
Grated Parmesan or pecorino, for serving

Steps:

  • Season the pork shoulder all over with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium high. Working in batches if necessary, cook the pork until browned on two sides, 8 to 10 minutes total, adding more oil if the pan looks dry. Transfer pieces to a bowl as they finish. Add the sausages to the pot and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to the bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, if needed, and the onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the red wine, stir, scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and basil, then fill one of the 28-ounce cans with water. (You'll use it in a second.) Return the pork shoulder and sausages to the pot, along with any accumulated juices in the bowl. Nudge them around so they are submerged. Add the meatballs on top, then add enough water from the can to cover the meat. (There's no need to stir.) Partly cover the pot, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork shoulder falls apart when shredded with a fork, 2 to 2½ hours.
  • When you're ready to eat, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, slice the sausage and shred the pork shoulder. Transfer to a platter along with the meatballs and a few spoonfuls of sauce. Reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and add the pasta to the pot of sauce. Over medium heat, toss the pasta with the sauce, adding pasta water as needed until the sauce clings to the pasta.
  • Divide pasta between bowls, then top with a bit of each meat. Pass the Parmesan and platter of meat at the table.

ALL-DAY SPAGHETTI SAUCE

This spaghetti sauce freezes very well for later. I use standard quart-size ziplock bags, and stack them in the freezer.

Categories     European

Time 6h15m

Yield 28 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
56 ounces diced tomatoes
56 ounces tomato sauce
48 ounces tomato paste
8 bay leaves
3 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons oregano
4 tablespoons onion powder (or equivalent real onion)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Brown beef in a skillet.
  • Put into a large stock pot with the tomato sauce, paste, and diced tomatoes.
  • Add most of the required amount of all the spices.
  • Let simmer on low, stirring enough to keep it from burning to the pan bottom, for an hour or so.
  • Taste a spoonful and add the rest of the spices to taste.
  • TIPS: When you add spices, mix well and simmer 1/2 hour before you taste and add more if necessary.
  • The thicker the metal of your stock pot, the less you have to stir.
  • Cover it to prevent splatters, but not airtight (I use a spoon to prop the edge of the lid to let vapor escape.).
  • The longer it simmers, the thicker it gets (yum).
  • The sauce is also very good without the beef.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
  • Don't Overcook: Overcooking can ruin the texture and flavor of your food. Be careful not to overcook your ingredients, especially vegetables.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to season your food to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices until the food tastes just the way you like it.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than brown.
  • Use a Variety of Cooking Techniques: Don't just stick to one cooking technique. Try using different methods, such as sautéing, roasting, grilling, and baking, to add variety to your meals.
  • Have Fun!: Cooking should be enjoyable, so don't take it too seriously. Experiment with different recipes and ingredients, and have fun in the kitchen.
