Grandma Josies Spaghetti Sauce Recipes

GREAT GRANDMA'S HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Brown meat and Italian sausage (break it up as you stir it. You may want to heat up a little olive oil (about 2 minutes) before adding the meat...)
• Add chopped onions to the meat mixture and continue cooking. Stir occasionally until onions are softened.
• Next, add your diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and tomato sauce.
• Next, mix in the spices, sugar, and garlic.
• Once your sauce is cooking (bring to a boil), add your wine and water.
• Simmer on low (stir often) for an hour.
• Optional: Let it simmer for an additional 3-4 hours, just to let the flavors combine even more.

GRANDMA MAGGIO'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and cook and stir the onion and garlic until translucent but not browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and basil, and cook and stir until the basil is wilted and the mushrooms are cooked through and have given up their juices, about 10 minutes.
• Pour in the whole peeled tomatoes, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring and chopping the tomatoes into pieces with a spoon. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir, crushing any large pieces of tomato left, and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened and bubbling, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
• Stir the tomato paste into the sauce, and fill the empty tomato paste can with Merlot wine, stirring to dissolve any remaining tomato paste in the can. Pour the Merlot wine into the sauce, and stir well to combine. Bring the sauce back to a simmer, and stir in the salt, pepper, dried oregano, and sugar. Let the sauce simmer until the seasonings are blended and the sauce is heated through, about 3 more minutes.

JIMMY'S GRANDMA'S TOMATO SAUCE WITH BUCATINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Place a large roasting pan over 2 burners set to medium heat. Add the butter, garlic and onions and sweat for 6 to 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the tomato sauce and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover with foil and transfer the pan to the oven for 5 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. (Baking in the oven ensures the sauce cooks down without burning.)

GRANDMA JOSIE'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Saute onions and garlic in a really large stockpot (probably at least 8-quarts) over medium-high heat until onions are cooked down considerably, though not blackened. (You'll need to keep checking on them and stirring from time to time.) Give them about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, puree the tomatoes in batches in a food processor, and then run them through a food mill set over a large bowl. (You will be extracting any seeds and skins from the tomatoes.) Add the processed tomatoes to the stockpot. Puree the tomato paste with the basil and the red wine in the food processor. Add some ladles of the more-liquid sauce on the stove to the mixture, in order to incorporate the paste into the sauce. Pour the contents of the processor into the stockpot and stir well. Add salt and pepper, sugar, and crushed red pepper to taste. Turn heat to low and cover partially with the lid of the stockpot. Stir from time to time. (It should barely simmer.) Meanwhile, precook 4-5 country-style spareribs in the microwave,covered with plastic wrap, with just a little water added, for about 10 minutes. (They won't be thoroughly cooked, but you will have extracted a lot of the grease before adding them to the spaghetti sauce.) Holding them with tongs, rinse under tap water, and add to the pot. Prepare the meatballs (separate recipe), and shape them to the size of about a lime. Allow the meatballs and the spareribs to simmer in the sauce for a couple of hours. Stir after the meatballs have had a chance to cook, about 20 minutes, and continue to do so from time to time. Cook the pasta of your choice in another large stockpot until al dente. Drain and ladle just enough of the sauce over the drained pasta in the strainer to keep the pasta from becoming sticky as it cools (2-3 ladles-full). Ladle the servings into individual bowls.
