HEIDI'S MAGIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot. When hot remove from heat.
• While the oil is heating, lightly pound the rosemary, thyme, and oregano in a mortar and pestle.
• Stir the paprika, garlic, bay leaf, red pepper flakes, and salt into the oil. Then add the bruised herbs and lemon juice.
• You can use this now, but know - the oil just gets better as it ages over a few days. Keep it in a refrigerator for up to a week/ten days-ish. It thickens up when cold, so if you need it in a liquid state, place it in the sun or in a warm place for a few minutes.
• Makes ~2/3 cup.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCE

Steps:

• Blanch the tomatoes and remove the skins. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut the tomatoes crosswise. Set aside in a bowl.
• Heat 3 ounces olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until it smokes slightly. Add tomatoes, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Since the tomatoes will reduce and the salt will be concentrated, it is better to season initially with a lighter hand.
• Chop the tomatoes with a potato masher until they are in fine chunks and all their liquid is released. Be sure they are chopped and crushed fine, for a semichunky sauce. Simmer for 25 minutes over medium heat.
• While the sauce simmers, heat the water for the pasta. Cook the spaghetti in salted water about half of the way cooked. Drain, reserving some of the water.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add the pasta to the sauce and cook over medium-high heat until all the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente. If the sauce is over-reduced, use the pasta cooking liquid to adjust it.
• At the last moment, remove the pan from the heat; add the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, basil and cheese. Mix thoroughly until the pasta is an orangy color. Taste again and adjust the salt if necessary. Remove to a platter. Serve.

HEIDI'S 'GHETTI SAUCE (TOMATO-BASE SPAGHETTI SAUCE)

Steps:

• Brown Italian Sausages in 1 or 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil, cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices, and return them to the pan to cook thoroughly through. Do NOT drain the oil when sausage finishes cooking. This will add to flavor of sauce!

• Adjust heat under pan to MEDIUM or MED-LOW for a slow, easy simmer.
• Mince onion and cut artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces. Add both to sauce mixture.
• Heat through
• I serve my sauce separate from the spaghetti, which I keep moist with a bit of oleo, a dash of garlic salt and a palmful of basil. My son and I both like to add a sprinkle of Romano or Parmesan cheese to our piles of pasta before we spoon on the sauce.
• ENJOY!
