Besides serving this with pasta (refrigerated tortellini is best), we've had it with brown basmati rice, as "sloppy subs" on toasted Italian rolls and as a "stew" with garlic bread. -Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

My mother-in-law has a life-long friend named Rosie, a dear Italian woman, who shared with us her family recipe for a hearty spaghetti sauce.

ITALIAN RAGU WITH MEATBALLS AND SAUSAGE



Italian Ragu with Meatballs and Sausage image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 5h

Yield 6 to 8 servings as a first course

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled, left whole
2 quarts San Marzano plum tomatoes, peeled and passed through a food mill or processor
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 to 15 fresh basil leaves
1 pound ground beef
1 pound ground veal (or ground pork may also be added)
Several pieces of day old bread, crust removed, about 3 slices
1/4 cup milk
2 whole eggs
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper
Rigatoni, cooked
2 pounds Italian pork sausage with fennel seeds

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pot (8-quart size minimum), heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil on a very low flame. Add the diced onion and cook slowly until it has turned translucent. Do not brown the onion, but allow it to almost melt away. Add the garlic cloves and very lightly cook them in the oil until golden before adding the tomatoes and all their juices. Add salt and pepper to taste, and the basil leaves and set the heat on low. Allow the tomatoes to cook at very low heat for at least 2 hours before adding the meat.
  • Make the meatballs: mix the ground beef and veal together in a large bowl. Combine the bread and milk and mash together to form a paste; add the bread to the ground meat. Add the eggs, garlic, parsley, cheese, salt, and pepper to the meat mixture and combine all the ingredients using your fingers to mix uniformly, but do not over mix or the meat will dry out when cooked. Pick up 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball shape, between the palms of your hands. Do this until you have used all the meat. This should yield approximately 24 meatballs.
  • Place the remaining olive oil in a heavy skillet and heat over medium flame. Add the meatballs in 1 layer and brown on all sides before removing. Do this to the remaining meatballs until all are browned to a caramelized color. After all the meatballs have been browned and removed from the skillet, add the sausage links and brown well, following the same method as the meatballs. When all the meat has cooked, add to the tomato ragu, which has been cooking for 2 hours and cook an additional hour. Serve the tomato ragu over rigatoni pasta cooked to manufacturer's directions. Serve the meats on another plate as a second course.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE SPAGHETTI



Italian Sausage Spaghetti image

This is my favorite method of making Italian sausage spaghetti. By browning the sausages first and then cooking them in the sauce at a long, slow simmer, the sausage is loaded with flavor and firm, but tender--almost meatball-like in texture. And we hardly need any seasonings because the long cook time allows the sauce to get infused with all the sausage-y goodness!

Provided by Chef John

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 ounce) sweet Italian sausage links
¼ cup white wine
1 (32 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 ½ cups water
1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Transfer sausage links into the hot pot. Cover with a lid and cook until beautifully browned and just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. You can increase the heat a little if you like, but make sure the oil does not smoke. Turn off the heat and remove sausages to a plate to cool completely.
  • While the sausages are cooling, add wine to the same pot over medium-high heat. As it comes up to a simmer, stir the caramelized bits on the bottom of a pan with a spoon or spatula. Simmer until it reduces by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add marinara sauce. Pour water into the jar of pasta sauce, seal, and shake to rinse out the jar. Pour that liquid into the pot and return to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
  • Slice each fully cooled sausage into 4 pieces. Transfer sausage and any accumulated juices into the simmering sauce. Stir and increase heat to just between low and medium-low. Cook at a gentle, steady simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Taste and adjust seasonings. Skim about 1/2 of the fat from the surface, and continue to cook until reduced and thick, about 30 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain spaghetti and transfer it directly into the pot of hot sauce. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover with the lid and let sit for 1 minute so the pasta can absorb some of the sauce.
  • Evenly divide pasta onto 4 plates and top each serving with 4 pieces sausage. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.

ITALIAN MEAT SAUCE II



Italian Meat Sauce II image

My standard sauce with meatballs, pork, and sausage. Delicious alone, on a sandwich, or over any pasta. Abruzzi recipe.

Provided by MFLOCCO

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes     Pasta Sauce Recipes     Tomato

Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 (28 ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
¾ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder, divided
1 pound ground beef chuck
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
salt and pepper to taste
½ pound hot Italian sausage
½ pound mild Italian sausage
½ pound pork neck bones
¼ cup red wine

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until onion is soft and translucent. Pour in crushed tomatoes and whole tomatoes. As you are adding the whole tomatoes, let them slowly slide through your fingers and crush them coarsely on the way into the pot. Season with 1/4 cup of the parsley and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Cover, and reduce heat to low.
  • In a large bowl, mix the ground beef chuck, breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 cup parsley, egg, milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix ingredients with your hands until well blended. Form into small, golf ball-size meatballs. Slice all of the sausage links but one hot and one mild link into 1/2 inch chunks.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be slightly smoking. Slice open the remaining links of hot and mild sausage, and crumble into the pan. Saute, continually breaking up the pieces, until they are all golden brown. Transfer to the sauce. Brown the meatballs, chopped sausage links, and pork bones on all sides until they are a deep golden brown. You may need to do this in stages, and continually transfer into the sauce when browned. Drain excess fat.
  • Pour the red wine into the skillet and deglaze all of the brown chunks on the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce to about half, then transfer into the sauce. Frequently stir, and season with salt and pepper to taste for about another hour after the last meat has been transferred into the pan. Finish by stirring the remaining fresh parsley into the sauce. Spoon sauce over your favorite pasta and serve the meat on a separate plate.
