Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons oil (I'm using olive oil)
2 pounds ground meat of your choice, such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, lamb (I'm using beef)
1 onion, diced (I'm using yellow onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
3/4 cup liquid of your choice, such as beef stock, chicken stock, water or wine (I'm using red wine)
One 28-ounce can tomato product (I'm using crushed tomatoes)
2 tablespoons oregano (if you have it)
Salt and pepper
1 pound dry pasta (I'm using rigatoni)
3 tablespoons grated hard cheese (I'm using Parmesan)

Steps:

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the meat and cook, without stirring, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Break it up with a wooden spoon, then add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a simmer. Add the crushed tomatoes and oregano and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened and the flavors come together, about 1 hour.
  • About 20 minutes before the sauce is done, bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Drop in the pasta, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Remove from the heat, toss in the cheese and serve.

UNCLE SAM'S MEATY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Uncle Sam's Meaty Spaghetti Sauce image

This recipe is handed down a generation from an ex Navy cook who passed it to me. I have been making this as is for a while now but I misplaced the original recipe so I may be off just a bit...

Provided by David Hawkins

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 3h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs ground meat (choose chicken for lighter diets, beef or a beef pork mixture for hearty sauces)
2 cups diced onions
1 cup diced bell pepper (any color is fine, I prefer red as it is sweeter than green normally)
4 -8 garlic cloves, crushed and diced to taste (make sure you can smell the garlic over the onions when cooking, if you can't add more)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 (4 ounce) cans hunts tomato paste
3 (12 ounce) cans hunts tomato puree
2 tablespoons dried oregano
3 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons basil
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon red cayenne pepper
2 bay leaves
1 cup fresh mushrooms (optional)
1 lb sausage (optional)
1 lb meatballs (use your favorite recipe) (optional)

Steps:

  • (If you choose purely beef for the primary meat, the sausage OR meatballs is good. If you choose chicken, use a good chicken sausage to not throw the meats into conflict. If you use ground pork, I don't recommend using any other meats).
  • Take diced onions, garlic and peppers and sauté in the olive oil. I usually take a pinch or two of the salt and throw it in here as well.
  • Once all the onions are translucent, scoop all the veggies out and put in a bowl on the side. In the same pan with no additional oil, sauté the meats you chose. Brown until almost all the red is gone, but leave just a little bit as this will cause the meat to release a bit more fat into the sauce.
  • Drain the meat. I actually put the meat in a metal strainer and lightly rinse under cold water in the sink to get rid of most of the fat (which is why you leave just a bit red).
  • Once done, combine all the ingredients cooked so far back in a large sauce pot.
  • Add all the cans of tomato products and then using one of the 4 oz. cans of paste, fill with water twice and put into the pot with everything else. Mix all ingredients in the pot well, blending the water into the tomato paste and puree.
  • Begin with high heat to get the entire mixture bubbling. (Use a screen strainer over the top of the pot to prevent it from splattering your stove or you).
  • Once bubbling turn the heat down to a low medium flame. I recommend a heat displacer if you have one to prevent burning the sauce.
  • Once simmering, put all the spices on top of the sauce, spreading around the top and stick the bay leaves into the sauce.
  • Let it sit on top for a while, some of the meat oils will surface on the sauce and mix with the spices. Once this happens, blend all the spices into the sauce with a wooden spoon (to be like Pa) --.
  • Stirring frequently, cook for about 3 hours.
  • This sauce will actually taste best 24 to 36 hours later, so if you can, plan ahead.
  • Serve over spaghetti, ravioli or use as your sauce in lasagna.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices for the best flavor. Freshly minced garlic and onions will provide a more intense flavor than pre-packaged options.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat before adding it to the sauce will give it a richer flavor and help to remove excess fat.
  • Use a variety of meats: Combining different types of meat, such as ground beef, pork, and Italian sausage, will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld together and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Add vegetables: Adding vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, will add sweetness and texture to the sauce. You can also add chopped mushrooms or zucchini.
  • Season to taste: Taste the sauce as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. A good rule of thumb is to start with a small amount of salt and pepper and add more to taste.
  • Serve with your favorite pasta: This sauce can be served with any type of pasta, but it is especially good with spaghetti, penne, or macaroni.
