Ingredients
  1. 1/4 cup olive oil2 TBS. butter
  2. 1 medium cauliflower, broken into one-inch flowerets
  3. 3 medium cloves of garlic crushed or finely chopped
  4. 1 bay leaf
  5. 2 tsp. basil (I use fresh and a lot of it)
  6. fresh oregano too (the original recipe does not call for it but hey it tastes great when you add it!)
  7. 2 cups tomato puree (I use a can of puree or crushed tomatoes and it is 28 oz.)
  8. salt & lots of fresh ground black pepper
  9. 2 cups mixed, grated parmesan and cheddar cheeses
  10. 1 lb. (uncooked) thin spagetti
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Heat 2 TBS. olive oil in a deep, heavy skillet.
  2. add crushed garlic, bay leaf, basil and oregano.
  3. Saute about one minute, then add cauliflower, and sprinkle it with about 1 tsp. salt.
  4. Saute until the cauliflower is tender. You might want to add a little water to it (1/2 to 1 cup) to steam it along. (I like to steam it a little on its own first and then add it)
  5. When cauliflower is tender, add tomato puree, and lower to a simmer. Simmer 15 or so minutes.
  6. Step 2: Cook the spagetti in plenty of boiling water. (8-10 minutes if it is dry pasta. It will only take about 4 mins. if it is fresh)
  7. Drain and toss with remaining olive oil, butter and half the cheese.
  8. Spread onto a platter and pour the cauliflower sauce over.
  9. Top with more cheese.
  10. Serve immediately!

Sally’s Secret Italian Tomato Sauce

featuredpic06

Ok, the secret’s out now so enjoy!

It’s a little tricky to share this one because it truly is a “Secret” when you never measure ingredients! But I think this should be close enough:

• 1 Large Can crushed Tomatoes

• 1 Large Can chopped crushed Tomatoes (with tomato chunks)

• 1 small can tomato paste

• oregano (use fresh if you have it, if not dried will do)

• basil (use fresh if you have it, if not dried will do)

• bay leaf

• ¼ cup red wine

• 3 cloves of Fresh Garlic-chopped fine (use garlic zoom if you have it)

• onion 2 tsp. sugar (this can be optional but it does help cut the acid)

• 2 TBS. of Olive oil

In a large kettle or stock pot Saute onion in oil Add Bay leaf, and 1 tsp. each of basil & oregano and crack some black pepper Saute these ingredients for just a few mins. until the onion turns translucent and tender Add 1 tsp. of garlic sauté 1 more min.

Add all tomatoes and paste Add red wine Add two more cloves of chopped garlic and sugar Sprinkle in more oregano and basil and black pepper to taste (approx. another 2 tsp.)

Simmer on low anywhere from 45 min. to 3 hrs. stirring occasionally making sure that it doesn’t burn on the bottom You can add any or a combination of all of the following options.

Options: Add 1 to 1 ½ lbs. sautéed hamburger meat Add Pork shoulder Roast/and/or Italian Sausage Add: Fresh grated Parmesan cheese ¼ cup

This sauce goes great over any pasta and is yummy for chicken, eggplant and veal parmesan too! This is a great sauce to put on any kind of pasta and it works great for chicken, eggplant and veal parmesan too!

Jenna’s Pasta Recipe

This is a recipe from my daughter Jenna

When someone starts out with “Ingredients are approximate” you know they have been getting creative on their own now.

Olive oil

1 large onion

2 cloves garlic

Salt and pepper

1 bag of spinach (I prefer the baby spinach, it’s not as tough)

1 cup of stewed tomatoes cut in quarters

1/4 cup of chopped kalamata olives

Pecorino romano cheese

Small handful of spaghetti

While pasta is cooking, put oil in a medium pan over medium heat and add sliced onion, salt and pepper. Wait ’til light brown and add spinach. Let cook a couple of minutes then add garlic and tomatoes. Cover for a few minutes. Add pasta. Top with Olives and Cheese when serving.
