SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until browned and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the beef and sausages, and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, to deglaze the pan and remove any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pan, and until half of the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and their juices, the tomato sauce, beef broth, and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is thickened and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the cream, butter, and parsley, stir well, and simmer for 2 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return the water to a low boil. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Add the pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and toss to blend. Divide among pasta bowls and serve with the cheese passed tableside. (Alternatively, toss only the desired portion of pasta with a bit of the sauce at a time in a serving bowl, reserving the remainder for another meal.)

SPAGHETTI PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 cup of the mozzarella and the spaghetti, then toss well to coat the pasta.
• Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the spaghetti mixture and spread it evenly over the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat to low and cook just until the edges are beginning to set, about 3 minutes.
• Pour the remaining 2 cups pizza sauce evenly over the top and spread evenly.
• Top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella, sausage, green peppers, onions and black olives. Transfer to the oven and cook until the spaghetti mixture is fully set and the cheese is bubbly, about 12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Using a spatula, slide out of the pan. Top with basil. Cut into wedges and serve.

• Remove the lid, turn the heat to high and cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes until browned. Add the tomatoes and sweet pepper sauce plus 4 tbsp of water and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer over a low heat for 25 minutes and season.
• Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/ gas 6. Peel the potatoes and grate them into a bowl. Add the remaining oil and three quarters of the cheese, season and mix lightly.
• Spoon the beef into an ovenproof dish. Scatter over the rösti topping and sprinkle over the rest of the cheese. Bake for 35 minutes until bubbling and golden.
