SLOW-COOKER SUNDAY SAUCE



Slow-Cooker Sunday Sauce image

Whether it's called red sauce, sugo or gravy, you'll find a big pot of the rich tomato sauce simmering all Sunday long in many Italian-American households. Every family has their own version, but this recipe includes shreddy pork shoulder, sausage and meatballs. This slow-cooker version lets you simmer it overnight or while you're not home, and without splatters and stirring (though you can also make it on a stovetop). Once the sauce is done, coat pasta in the sauce, spoon the meats on top and serve it with a green salad, crusty bread and red wine. Sauce can be kept refrigerated for up to one week and frozen for up to three months.

Time 8h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
3 basil sprigs
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
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:

  • In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the crushed tomatoes and basil sprigs. 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 the slow cooker as they finish. Add the sausages to the pot and cook until browned, 4 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to the slow cooker.
  • 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, stirring to scrape up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot, and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated, 2 to 4 minutes. Scrape the onion-wine mixture into the slow cooker, and stir to combine. Add the meatballs on top. (It's OK if they're sticking out of the sauce.) Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, until the pork shoulder falls apart when shredded with a fork.
  • 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 boils, slice the sausage and shred the pork shoulder on a cutting board, and leave it there. When the pasta is al dente, reserve ½ cup pasta water, then drain and return the pasta to the pot. Over medium heat, toss the pasta with enough sauce to coat (about 4 cups), adding pasta water as needed until the sauce clings to the pasta. (Some meatballs might end up in the pasta pot; that's OK.) Return the sausage and pork shoulder to the remaining sauce in the slow cooker.
  • Divide pasta between bowls, then top with a bit of each meat. Pass the Parmesan and extra meat and sauce at the table.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken. A free-range or organic chicken will have more flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Season the chicken well. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to flavor the chicken. Some good options include garlic, thyme, rosemary, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Brown the chicken before cooking it. Browning the chicken will help to develop its flavor and give it a crispy skin.
  • Use a slow cooker that is the right size for the amount of chicken you are cooking. A slow cooker that is too small will not allow the chicken to cook evenly, while a slow cooker that is too large will waste energy.
  • Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken and the type of slow cooker you are using.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooked chicken is a delicious and easy way to cook chicken. It is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice. Slow-cooked chicken is also a great option for meal prepping, as it can be cooked ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to eat.
