  1. Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

    INGREDIENTS

    1 (16 ounce) package dry penne pasta

    8 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced

    1/2 cup Italian dressing

    1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil

    1/4 cup diced red onion

    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    DIRECTIONS

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the penne pasta in the pot, cook 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.

    In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta with the tomatoes, Italian dressing, basil, red onion, and Parmesan cheese.  


  2. you mean make it from scratch i dunno


  3. I also go simple.

    I brown up some ground beef in a pan, sometimes with onion and garlic, salt and pepper.  Then I drain the fat form the meat.  (Once in awhile I also add some Italian sausage to the ground beef mixture)  I buy a premade sauce--usually bottled--either Marinara or one that has onions and garlic.  I add the sauce to the meat mixture and heat throughly.  Then add some grated parmesan cheese.  

    A totally homemade sauce takes too much time usually for my schedule.  I have even found that an inexpensive canned Hunts spaghetti sauce is good when you add meat to it.   Mangia, mangia!!



  4. I think you are asking for spaghetti bolognase? There are very many variations on spaghetti recipes.

    ngredients

    55g/2oz streaky bacon, diced

    120ml/4fl oz good olive oil

    1 onion, finely diced

    1 stick celery, finely diced

    1 carrot, finely diced

    2 garlic cloves, crushed with a little salt

    1 tsp soft fresh thyme leaves

    1 bay leaf

    1 tsp dried oregano

    400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes

    1 tbsp tomato purée

    1½ tsp anchovy essence

    1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

    900g/2lb minced beef

    110g/4oz fresh chicken livers, finely chopped

    750ml/1¼ pints dry red wine

    1 litre/1¾ pint chicken, beef or lamb stock

    450g/1lb dried spaghetti

    salt and ground black pepper

    Method

    1. In a large, heavy-based pan, fry the bacon in 2 tbsp of the olive oil. When the bacon is crispy and has released some natural fats, add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, thyme, bay leaf and oregano and cook over a medium heat until the vegetables have softened and taken on a little colour.

    2. Add the canned tomatoes, the tomato purée, anchovy essence and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.

    3. Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat another 2 tbsp of the olive oil and fry the mince in small batches until browned. While the meat is frying, break up any lumps with the back of a wooden spoon. Repeat until all the mince is browned. Drain off any fat and add to the tomato mixture.

    4. Add 2 tbsp of the oil to the same frying pan, fry the chicken livers until brown and crusty and add the livers to the meat. Deglaze the frying pan with some of the red wine, scraping any crusty bits from the bottom. Pour this wine, the remaining wine and the stock into the tomato and meat mixture. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring from time to time, for about 2 hours. Season to taste. If the liquid reduces too much, top up with water. When the meat is tender allow to cool, then chill.

    5. When cold, lift off the solidified fat and discard.

    6. Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling water with the remaining olive oil and heat the sauce. When the pasta is cooked and the sauce heated through, divide the pasta among six dishes and serve the sauce on top.
