Spaghetti Marinara....anyone got a tested and tried recipe to recommend?

Answer 1

I have a recipe for Spagetti Frutti di Mare, hope it helps you.

Sorry about the portions, but I lost that page, I made it once and is really delicious !! but usually you will use a can of everything.

Shrimps: First fry head and skin with olive oil and then add some water and white pepper (let them make a broth "caldo")
Use white pepper for fish (since black pepper is for meat)

Cut the shrimp meat in small pieces.

Put some clams in boiling water to open them.

Use garlic, white wine and olive oil, and when they are boiling put some squid, just mix everything above (shrimp and clam meat) with a fish filet for 30 minutes.

All the seafood should be cut by that moment in small pieces. Add to this mix the broth "caldo" to all this and add mussels "mejillones".

After 30 minutes of everything, add tomatoe sauce and let everything warm, don't forget to put some parsley (perejil).

PASTA (I will skip this recipe since you can buy spagetti in your convinient store)

Mix everything for 10 more minutes and serve it.

That's all, sorry about the traduction, and hope you can enjoy it.

Answer 2

I start with a jar of a good sauce and the doctor it to taste the way I like it by adding sauteed garlic or basil or oregano. There are so many brands now that are simply delicious. Or, failing that, try:

Answer 3

This is my absolute most favorite meal. My mom made this alot for us growing up, and since we're now grown and out of the house, it's a favorite Sunday dinner when we all get together. Sometimes I will also add prepared frozen meatballs to the sauce

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon sweet basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (12 ounce) can tomato paste
3 cups water


In a large sauce pan, brown together the beef, onions, and garlic; drain grease and return to pan.
Add remaining ingredients to the beef and mix together well.
Simmer over low to medium heat for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally.
Serve over your favorite pasta.
