SIMPLE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• On medium heat melt the butter and sautee the onion and bell peppers.
• Add the hamburger meat and cook until meat is well done.
• Add the tomato sauce, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Salt, pepper and garlic powder can be adjusted to your own tastes.
• Cook noodles as directed.
• Mix the sauce and noodles if you like, I keep them separated.

ONE POT SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Set a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking apart and stirring as the meat cooks. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute or two until fragrant.
• Drain the grease from the pot and season the beef with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the marinara sauce, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, sugar (if using), and beef broth. Stir well to combine, bring to a boil, and then reduce heat to a low simmer (about medium-low).
• Lay the broken spaghetti noodles on top of the sauce, criss-crossing them and pressing them down until submerged by liquid. Do not stir at this point.
• Cover and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the excess liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente, about 15 to 20 minutes total (see NOTES below).
• Stir well and serve immediately, topped with plenty of Parmesan cheese.

PINK SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti according to package directions.
• In blender add tomato sauce, cream cheese, garlic, and bouillon.
• Blend until cream cheese is smooth.
• Pour spaghetti into a strainer and return pasta pan to stove on medium heat.
• Pour sauce into pan and let cook for about 5 minutes; add in the ham.
• Add the spaghetti back to pan and mix everything together.

PINK SAUCE PASTA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in large pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes or until onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Do not brown or burn onions or garlic.
• Using your hands, break up the San Marzano tomatoes as you pour them into the large pot. This will release the juices and help break up the tomatoes so they cook evenly. Add salt and bring to a soft boil, then lower heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente.
• After tomatoes have cooked for 30 minutes, use an immersion blender in your large pot to blend the sauce into a creamy, smooth consistency. You may need to tilt your pot to one side so the sauce can gather and your blender is fully immersed. ** Keep the pot on low heat and add cream, Parmigiano Reggiano, basil and stir until smooth.
• Once the pasta is cooked, remove 1 cup of pasta water from the pot and set aside. Add hot pasta to sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and add 1/2 to 1 cup of pasta water, adding more if your sauce is too thick. The pasta sauce will quickly set up as it cools. Serve immediately with additional grated parm if desired.
