Special Meatball Pasta

1/2 kg ground beef round
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
1 medium carrot, finely chopped or grated
10 green beans, finely chopped
spring onions, finely chopped
1 whole egg
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2-3 tablespoons cornstarch
oil (for frying)

For the Pasta
450 g pasta (preferably spaghetti or angel hair)
2 tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
4-5 tomatoes, boiled and seeded
2 green bell peppers, minced
300 g button mushrooms, chopped
5 hot dogs, sliced diagonally
800 g tomato sauce
200 g tomato paste
160 ml condensed milk
1 knorr beef bouillon cube
300 g grated cheese
salt & pepper
mixed herbs
1-2 cup water

For the Meatballs:Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until you are able to form balls, deep fry meatballs in canola oil & drain well on paper towels, set aside. ( you can test for saltiness or general taste by frying a small meatball & adjusting recipe to your taste accordingly).
For the Pasta Sauce:In a saucepan, saute garlic & onions in oil, add tomatoes & cover for 4-5 minutes. Add the mushrooms & bell peppers (with 1-minute intervals in between) -- add hotdogs.Keep the sauce covered for 3 minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce. Simmer covered for 5 minutes, add the tomato paste & simmer for another 5 minutes. Drop in the beef cube, once beef cube is dissolved, add the meatballs; once mixture starts to boil -- add the condensed milk, grated cheese, salt & pepper, as well as the mixed herbs (preferably oregano, paprika, etc.).Season accordingly. You may add hot sauce to perk up the taste of the sauce if you desire. Use the water to adjust thickness or consistency of sauce.Make sure that after the initial boil that you keep the fire low and keep the sauce simmering for 10 minutes or so. This will help your sauce keep for days in the refrigerator. If you want to set some sauce aside for later use, make sure that the sauce is at room temperature before placing in a plastic container, & then place it in the freezer. This way, the sauce will keep for a month or so.
Just cook pasta according to package instructions. Pour sauce mixture over pasta & sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!!

How about a simple putanesca sauce instead of your standard Americanized marinara? Just put some olive oil (2 Tbsp), cubed salt pork (2 oz) and butter (1 oz) into a saucepan over medium heat. When the salt pork is cooked, throw in some garlic and parsley that you've chopped finely together. Next, throw in some chopped up kalamata olives (3/4 cup) and about 2 tablespoons of capers that you've rinsed and drained. Open a tin of anchovies (don't be afraid of them!), chop them up finely, and add them to the pan. Toss all that around for a minute, then pour in 1 can of diced tomatoes (I recommend Muir Glen fire-roasted). Simmer all that for about 10 - 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve over al dente spaghetti, penne, seared salmon, chicken breasts, or just about anything. Serve with freshly grated pecorino or parmigiana. Buon appetito!

Spaghetti Sauce 1

My great, great grandmother in Italy passed this down. We've been doing
sauce this way forever.

My sauce doesn't date back that far, just to my mom, as far as I know... but
it's soooooo easy that I have to share it :

I use my pressure cooker to make this in...I don't "pressure cook" it, but I
like the heaviness of the pan and this recipe fills up the whole thing.

Put one large can of crushed tomatoes, one large can of tomato sauce and one
large jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce (I like "chunky garden vegetable) in the
pan. Add garlic powder, dried, minced onions, dried parsley and oregano to
taste.

Saute about 1 lb. of ground beef. Drain and rinse. Add to sauce.
Take the skin off 1 lb. of Italian sausage. Saute and cut into small pieces.
Add to sauce. Stir it all well. Cover lightly and simmer for hours and
hours. I usually make the sauce the day before I use it so it will have a
chance for all of the flavors to blend.

Spaghetti Sauce with Meatballs

My great, great grandmother in Italy passed this down. We've been doing
sauce this way forever.

Meatballs:

Don't use good ground beef. The fat in the meat makes them juicier. For
about 2 lbs of ground beef I add:

3 eggs
Locatelli cheese, grated
Parsley
Oregano
Day Old Italian Bread soaked in milk
Salt and Pepper
Garlic, crushed

As for the amounts, like grandma used to say, "when the Lord tells you to stop".

Fry them in a little olive oil. I also fry sausage in the same oil.

You can add braccioli too. (We pronounce it "bru shawl") Use very thin
round steak or sandwich steaks. Flatten them out and sprinkle with
Locatelli, parsley, salt & pepper, and crushed garlic. Then roll them up,
secure with a toothpick, and fry in the same oil.

Remove the excess oil and deglaze the pan with white or red wine.
(Whichever you would drink for dinner).

Sauce:

I can my own tomatoes but canned puree works ok too.
I add crushed garlic, oregano, parsley, S&P. That's it.

Put all the fried meat in the sauce and the stuff (wine and such) from the
frying pan in the sauce and simmer for about 2 - 3 hours.

Spaghetti Sauce 2

I think this Spaghetti Sauce recipe was in Good Housekeeping magazine several years ago, and I love it.

3/4 lb hot Italian sausage 2 6-oz cans tomato paste
3/4 lb ground beef 1 cup Parmesan cheese
12 oz mushrooms, sliced 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 medium onion, chopped 1 tsp sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 small green pepper, chopped 1/2 cup chopped parsley
2 28-oz cans of tomatoes in puree

In dutch oven over high heat, cook sausage and beef until browned and juices evaporate. With slotted spoon remove meat to bowl. In drippings in pan, over medium heat, cook mushrooms, onion, garlic, and green pepper until tender, adding olive oil if necessary.

Return meat to pan, add tomatoes with puree, paste, cheese, seasoning, sugar and pepper; over high heat, heat to boiling, stirring to break up tomatoes. Reduce heat to low, partly cover and simmer one hour, stirring occasionally.

Stir in parsley.
