ZAPPA FAMILY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Zappa Family Spaghetti Sauce image

I have spent a lifetime trying to duplicate the red sauce and meatball recipe my mother, Anne Marie Zappa, cooked every week when I was growing up. I'll never do it, but this is close. This is a forgiving recipe. Maybe you want to add a couple of chicken thighs, or mix in a few browned hot sausages. Just keep a good ration of pork to beef.

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Salt and pepper
1 pound pork spareribs, neck bones or pork chops
1 pound beef chuck roast, blade steak or brisket
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bay leaf
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, preferably Italian
1 28-ounce can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped
4 small or 2 large pickled peperoncini
Cooked meatballs
1 pound dried spaghetti for serving
Grated Parmesan for serving

Steps:

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper all over pork and beef. Place large pot over medium-high heat; when hot, add olive oil and brown meat. (Or cook meat in same pot used for meatballs, browning in the leftover fat.) Remove meat to a platter. Turning heat under pot to medium, add onions, and cook 3 minutes, stirring. Add garlic, and cook 2 minutes longer. Add tomato paste, and stir: cook until it absorbs fat in pan. Add oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and bay leaf, stirring to combine.
  • Add cans of tomatoes and tomato sauce, then 4 1/2 cups water. Stir in sugar, parsley and peperoncini. Return meats to pot with their juices. Bring sauce to a gentle boil. Turn heat down to a simmer, partly cover and leave sauce to simmer 21/2 hours or more, stirring regularly.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, add meatballs to pot. Boil spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, return spaghetti to pan and add 3 cups sauce. Toss pasta in pan for a minute to coat with sauce, and place on a large platter. Pour 2 more cups sauce over pasta. Place meat and meatballs on pasta, slicing large pieces. Serve with bowls of remaining sauce and Parmesan.

ZAPPA FAMILY SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS



Zappa Family Spaghetti and Meatballs image

I was on a quest for the perfect spaghetti sauce, and thanks to this recipe from the NY Times, I think it's officially over. It tastes just like the sauce my childhood best friend's parents used to make -- they immigrated from Italy and had me over for dinner every Sunday. I didn't have any chuck roasts or beef briskets on hand, so I just let the meatballs simmer in the sauce. I like the thinner consistency because that's how my friend's parents made it, but my boyfriend prefers a thicker sauce -- next time I will cut down on the water. Also, instead of 1 cup of breadcrumbs, I used 4 slices of white bread that I tore into small pieces and then soaked in 1/2 cup buttermilk for 10 min. to form a paste, a tip I learned from the Best Recipe Cookbook.

Time 3h45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 28

salt and pepper
1 lb pork neck bones or 1 lb pork chop
1 lb blade steaks or 1 lb beef brisket
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bay leaf
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, preferably Italian
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped
2 large pickled pepperoncini peppers
2 lbs ground beef
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs:.
  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except olive oil by hand, using a light touch. Take a portion of meat in hand, and roll between palms to form a ball that is firmly packed but not compressed. Repeat, making each meatball about 2 inches in diameter.
  • In a large, heavy pot heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add meatballs in batches. Do not crowd. Brown well on bottoms before turning, or meatballs will break apart. Continue cooking until browned all over. Remove meatballs to a plate as each batch is finished. Let meatballs cool slightly; cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • Make the sauce:.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper all over pork and beef. Place large pot over medium-high heat; when hot, add olive oil and brown meat. (Or cook meat in same pot used for meatballs, browning in the leftover fat.) Remove meat to a platter. Turning heat under pot to medium, add onions, and cook 3 minutes, stirring. Add garlic, and cook 2 minutes longer. Add tomato paste, and stir: cook until it absorbs fat in pan. Add oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and bay leaf, stirring to combine.
  • Add cans of tomatoes and tomato sauce, then 4 1/2 cups water. Stir in sugar, parsley and peperoncini. Return meats to pot with their juices. Bring sauce to a gentle boil. Turn heat down to a simmer, partly cover and leave sauce to simmer 21/2 hours or more, stirring regularly.
  • About 20 minutes before serving, add meatballs to pot. Boil spaghetti according to package directions. Drain, return spaghetti to pan and add 3 cups sauce. Toss pasta in pan for a minute to coat with sauce, and place on a large platter. Pour 2 more cups sauce over pasta. Place meat and meatballs on pasta, slicing large pieces. Serve with bowls of remaining sauce and Parmesan.

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

¼ cup olive oil
2 large yellow onions, chopped
10 cloves garlic, minced
kosher salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 oz tomato paste
55 oz crushed tomato, 2 cans
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 cup bread crumbs
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup milk
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
1 lb dried spathetti
fresh basil, chopped
grated parmesan cheese, fresh

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and grease with nonstick spray.
  • Make the marinara sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and season with salt, pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Cook until soft and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
  • Set aside ⅓ cup (50 G) of the cooked onions and garlic for the meatballs and let cool.
  • Stir the tomato paste into the onions and cook until browned and aromatic, 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
  • Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, reserved onion and garlic mixture, bread crumbs, ricotta, parsley, eggs, Parmesan, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until well combined.
  • Shape about 2 ounces (55 G) of meat at a time into balls and set on the prepared wire rack.
  • Bake the meatballs for 20 minutes, until the outsides are browned and the centers are tender and juicy and reach about 155˚F (68˚C).
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, 7-10 minutes, until al dente. Stir occasionally to keep the noodles from sticking together.
  • Drain the pasta and add it directly to the simmering marinara sauce. Reserve some pasta water, in case you need it to loosen the sauce. Stir the pasta into the sauce until fully coated.
  • Add the pasta to serving bowls, top with the meatballs, and garnish with Parmesan, fresh basil, and cracked pepper.
  • Enjoy!

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS



Spaghetti and Meatballs image

There's little more comforting on a weeknight - or any night - than spaghetti, tossed in marinara sauce and paired with savory meatballs. This hearty recipe features three kinds of meat - ground pork shoulder, veal and beef chuck, along with minced bacon - rolled into small balls, which are then browned in a sauté pan, and baked until cooked through. Serve the whole thing with a bowl of grated Parmesan, ready to be heaped on.

Provided by Pete Wells

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 loaf fresh ciabatta, crusts removed, whirred in a blender or food processor to make crumbs (about 2 cups)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
¼ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup minced bacon about 3 slices
½ pound ground pork shoulder
½ pound ground veal
½ pound ground beef chuck
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound spaghetti
2 cups marinara sauce
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs and cream. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then mash the mixture with a fork. Mix in the oregano, pepper flakes, black pepper, salt and bacon. Gently work in the pork, veal and beef. Be careful not to knead it into oblivion, or the meatballs will be tough little pebbles. Fry a little of the mixture in some butter and oil in a skillet and taste, adjusting seasonings. Roll into small meatballs, about an inch across. (If you have a kitchen scale, measure an ounce apiece.)
  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large sauté pan, warm the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs, turning every couple of minutes. (Work in batches if they won't all fit in the pan.) Transfer them to a roasting pan big enough to hold them all. Pour 2 cups of cold water into the pan and transfer it to the oven to bake for 20 to 30 minutes or so, until the meatballs are cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • Boil the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water, and heat the marinara sauce in a pot. When the spaghetti is tender, toss it with the sauce. Season to taste. Put the cheese in a bowl and set it on the table. Make sure to ask your family if they want their meatballs on top of the spaghetti or on the side.
