Pasta With Bones Recipes

PASTA WITH MEATY BONES

Steps:

• Put the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. After a minute, add the chiles if you like and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the veal shank and raise the heat to medium-high; cook, turning as necessary, until the meat is nicely browned, 10 minutes or more. When the meat is just about done, add the garlic and salt and pepper to taste.
• When the garlic has softened a bit, crush the tomatoes and add them along with their juice. Turn the heat to medium-low to maintain a steady simmer. If you are using a broad pot, cover it partially. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and just about falling off the bone, at least 1 hour.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. Remove the veal shank, scoop out any marrow, chop the meat coarsely, and return the meat to the sauce (discard the bone). Remove and discard the chiles.
• Drain and sauce the pasta; sprinkle it with the herb, toss, and serve.
• Variations
• Pasta with Ribs: This is one of the best ways to use a small amount of meat in a highly satisfying way. Substitute 6 to 8 meaty spareribs for the veal shank (you can even use a couple more). The cooking time may be a little shorter. Serve the pasta topped with sauce along with a couple of ribs on the side.
• Carrots make a nice addition to this sauce; add about a cup, cut into chunks, along with the tomatoes. Some chopped onion won't do any harm either.

SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS WITH BONE MARROW SAUCE BY RICHARD BLAIS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, mix the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onions start begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Remove half of the onion/garlic mixture and place in a small bowl to cool. Set aside or refrigerate to cool completely.
• To the pot with the remaining onions/garlic, add the tomato paste. Cook the tomato paste, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to caramelize the natural sugars in the paste.
• Add red wine and canned tomatoes to the pot. Cook wine and tomatoes, stirring constantly, and scraping the bottom of the pan to make sure nothing burns, until the mixture comes to a low simmer.
• Break apart the whole tomatoes using a wooden spoon or squeezing with tongs. Continue to cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes to give the alcohol in the wine a chance to evaporate. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes longer.
• In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir the ricotta with the reserved (and cooled) onion-garlic mixture. Add the ground pork, ground beef, basil, oregano, sage, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper. Gently mix together first with a spoon then going in with your hands.
• Shape the meat into ping-pong-sized balls and place on parchment lined baking sheet.
• Place the meatballs in the fridge if you will not be cooking immediately or if they have warmed from handling (they will keep their shape better if kept cold before cooking!).
• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the meatballs lightly on all sides until they begin to brown. They will not be fully cooked at this point.
• Transfer the seared meatballs (and any accumulated juices) to the marinara sauce.
• Remove the bone marrow from the bone. Add to the meatballs and marinara sauce.
• Cover and let simmer for an additional 20 minutes to finish cooking the meatballs and allow the bone marrow to render its fat.
• Add cooked spaghetti to the finished sauce and toss to coat.
• Serve garnished with toasted breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Enjoy!
