THE GODFATHER'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot.
• Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Do not let the garlic burn.
• Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously so that a relatively smooth consistence is reached.
• Add sausages and meatballs and stir until the meat is coated.
• Add a splash of red wine, then the sugar according to taste.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• Serve by ladling over cooked pasta.
• Tip: It's not in the movie, but a teaspoon each of basil and oregano is suggested.
• Tip 2: If you're using canned whole tomatoes, draining them and then crushing them by hand will result in a chunky sauce. Canned crushed tomatoes will create a slightly thinner sauce, while canned chopped tomatoes will result in a thicker sauce.

GODFATHER

Steps:

• Pour the whisky and amaretto into a mixing glass or jug. Add a large handful of ice, then stir with a long-handled spoon until the outside of the glass feels very cold. Taste to check the dilution, then fill a tumbler or rocks glass with ice.
• Strain the cocktail into the ice-filled glass. Either drop in the strip of orange peel or, to make a twist, trim the ragged edges from the peel and twist into a spiral around a skewer. Hold for a moment, then release gently and drop into the glass.
