REAL HOME MADE SPAGHETTI SAUCE - OLIVE'S BEST

Steps:

• 1. Brown sausage and beef in a large skillet. Add garlic and onion. Cook until onion is tender. Drain excess grease. Add all remaining ingredients and bring just to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally. Do not add much salt at the beginning of the process as it loses flavor but will still add to your sodium intake.
• 2. You may add more tomatoes or tomato juice if mixture begins to thicken too much. Do your final seasoning about 15-20 minutes before cooking is complete.
• 3. The traditional Italian way of cooking this sauce was to simmer for at least 2 hours but 3 or 4 hours was preferred. Leftover sauce was kept refrigerated and added to(meat balls, ground cooked meats, more vegetables, onions, etc.) as the week progressed. When the sauce ran low and thick it was used for pizza sauce.

SPAGHETTI WITH OLIVES AND TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil. When water comes to a boil, add pasta, stirring constantly for the first minute to help prevent spaghetti from sticking together. Cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a large saute pan, heat oil. When almost smoking, add olives and red pepper flakes. Saute for 3 minutes over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and carefully pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Drain pasta in a colander, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the sauce and toss to coat completely. Add pasta water if you need to thin out the sauce a bit. Plate pasta and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and basil.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
• Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.
