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 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves

1/2 teaspoon red hot pepper

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan, if desired, and enjoy!

Cheesy Spaghetti Pie with Meat Sauce image

Think of this pie as a vehicle for leftovers or those stray vegetables you have in your fridge! You could add cooked mushrooms or frozen peas or leftover cooked sausage or chicken. We use spaghetti here, but any long shape of pasta will work just as well.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
8 ounces spaghetti
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 small onion, chopped
1 small zucchini, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound ground beef (85% lean)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 8-ounce can tomato sauce
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese (about 8 ounces)
1 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425˚ F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Brush the bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with olive oil.
  • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and shake the colander to remove the excess water. Put the spaghetti in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the beaten eggs and 1/2 cup Parmesan, then toss.
  • While the spaghetti cooks, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and zucchini and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, 1 more minute. Crumble in the beef, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the oregano and red pepper flakes, then clear a spot in the center of the skillet and add the tomato paste. Let it toast for 30 seconds, then stir into the beef mixture. Add the tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and 1/4 teaspoon salt, then bring to a simmer and cook until very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with more salt to taste.
  • To assemble the pie, transfer the spaghetti mixture to the pie plate and press to form a crust with a flat bottom and slightly higher sides. Spread the ricotta in the spaghetti crust, leaving a border around the edges. Spoon the meat sauce on top, then sprinkle with the mozzarella and the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until the bottom and sides of the pie are golden and the cheese is browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
