I got this recipe 30-plus years ago from a neighbor's mother who lived in Italy. It is delicious and always well received. Sub all or part of the ground beef and sausage for turkey or chicken products to lighten the recipe.

JO MAMA'S WORLD FAMOUS SPAGHETTI



Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti image

My kids will give up a steak dinner for this spaghetti. It is a recipe I have been perfecting for years and it is so good (if I may humbly say) that my kids are disappointed when they eat spaghetti anywhere else but home! In fact they tell me I should open a restaurant and serve only this spaghetti and garlic bread. In response to requests, I have posted the recipe for Recipe #28559 that uses approximately 1/2 of the sauce from this recipe. Have spaghetti one night and lasagna later! Thanks to all of you who have tried my recipe and have written a review. I read and appreciate every one of them! Chef Note: After I posted this recipe I remembered a funny incident--my dear husband usually has a nice bottle of wine handy so when I make a batch of spaghetti I just help myself to a splash of it. On one occasion, there wasn't a bottle opened, but there was a bottle sitting on the counter so I got out the corkscrew and helped myself. For some reason, the spaghetti that night was the best ever. My husband asked what wine I put in it and I showed him the bottle. He nearly fell off the chair. I had opened a rather expensive bottle he had bought to give his boss. Goes to show you--don't use a wine for cooking you wouldn't drink. You get the best results from a good wine!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 quarts, 10-14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 lbs Italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups water (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less)
3 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine (a good Cabernet!)
1 lb thin spaghetti
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir.
  • Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened.
  • Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water.
  • Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
  • Stir well and barely bring to a boil.
  • Stir in red wine.
  • Simmer on low, stirring frequently for at least an hour. A longer simmer makes for a better sauce, just be careful not to let it burn!
  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
  • Spoon sauce over drained spaghetti noodles and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

MAMA LORNA'S FILIPINO SPAGHETTI



Mama Lorna's Filipino Spaghetti image

In our three-child household, pasta nights are always a hit, but nothing hits a homerun like my mom's Filipino spaghetti. This delicious dish brings a nostalgic twist of my childhood to a classic pasta dish by introducing two classic Asian staples: banana ketchup and Chinese sausage. The sweetness of the ketchup and the candy-like sausage wheels complement the acidity of the tomatoes and the nuttiness of the cheese, creating an instant favorite for palates of all ages. I particularly enjoy cooking this dish with my 2-year-old daughter!

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound chitarra or spaghetti noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons bacon fat
4 whole Chinese sausage, sliced in 1/2-inch wheels
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 small onion, finely diced
1 pound lean ground pork
1/2 cup tomato paste
3 cups tomato puree
1 cup banana ketchup
2 tablespoons porcini powder or dried mushroom powder
Shredded white Cheddar, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil in a large stockpot and cook the pasta until tender but firm, about 9 minutes. Drain in a colander and toss with the olive oil to prevent sticking. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Heat the bacon fat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the Chinese sausage and cook, stirring, until fragrant and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and reserve.
  • Saute the garlic and onions in the same skillet over medium-high heat until the onions are slightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the ground pork and cook until the meat is brown and any juice from the meat has evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the tomato paste and continue to cook until the paste is slightly brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato puree and banana ketchup. Stir to combine and blend the flavors. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened like Bolognese, about 15 minutes.
  • Add the porcini powder and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the reserved sausage. Pour the sauce over the pasta and finish with the Cheddar.

MAMA'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mama's Spaghetti Sauce image

My mom's standard spaghetti sauce recipe - loved by all. Half of a 28 oz can of Dei Fratelli tomato sauce is used in this recipe, simply because we prefer the brand. If you want to use a 14 1/2 - 15 oz can of another brand, that works too. (Dei Fratelli doesn't sell a smaller can.) This recipe is at it's absolute best the day after making it.

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 large onion, chopped
1/2 lb ground sirloin
1 -2 link mild Italian sausage, removed from casing and broken into small bits
28 ounces petite diced tomatoes (Dei Fratelli)
0.5 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce (Dei Fratelli, plain)
6 ounces tomato paste
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 -2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 -3 bay leaves

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter with the olive oil, add the garlic and onion, and saute until onion is soft/translucent.
  • Add the ground sirloin and Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding the bay leaves last so as not to break them up during stirring. Adjust the seasonings as needed to suit your taste.
  • Bring the sauce to a boil, then turn heat down to the lowest possible heat and let simmer for 2 hours covered with an offset lid.
  • Serve with cooked spaghetti and parmesan cheese.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a world of difference in your spaghetti sauce. Choose ripe tomatoes, sweet onions, and aromatic garlic.
  • Brown your meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the sauce will help to develop its flavor and give the sauce a richer color.
  • Simmer for a long time: The longer you simmer your sauce, the more time it has to develop its flavor. Aim for at least 2 hours, or even longer if you have time.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to get the perfect flavor.

Conclusion:
