Spaghetti Sauce For A Large Group Food

SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until totally browned. Remove the meat from the pot with a slotted spoon and put into a bowl. Set aside.
• Discard any grease in the pot, but do not clean the pot. Drizzle in the olive oil. When it is heated, throw in the diced onions. Stir it around for 1 1/2 minutes, and then add the garlic. Stir and cook for an additional minute.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste and marinara sauce. Stir to combine, and then add the sugar, salt, oregano, thyme, crushed red pepper (if using) and bay leaves. Stir, then add the cooked ground beef and stir to combine. Place the lid on the pot and allow to simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Add a little water or some low-sodium broth if it needs more liquid.
• After an hour, add the minced parsley, basil and the Parmesan rind if using (or grated Parmesan if you prefer--or both!). Stir to combine, and then put the lid back on and allow it to simmer for another 30 minutes or so. Discard the bay leaves before serving.
• Serve a big bowl of oiled noodles and the spaghetti sauce so guests can serve themselves. Top each serving with minced parsley and grated Parmesan (or Parmesan shavings) and serve with a big piece of garlic-cheese bread.
• Amen.

FRANK'S ITALIAN SAUCE (SPAGHETTI SAUCE)

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well. Form about 16 meatballs and place on a platter. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and fry meatballs over medium heat until browned. Repeat until all meatballs are browned. Place meatballs on new clean platter. Do not discard the oil.
• For the Gravy: In the skillet, heat the reserved oil, add the onion and garlic and saute for approximately 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook on medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Fill the empty tomato paste can full of water, add to the skillet, and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In an 8-quart saucepan, add the ground tomatoes and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes. Fill the empty ground tomato can 3/4 full of water and add to the saucepan, along with the tomato paste mixture from the skillet and the reserved browned meatballs. Mix thoroughly but carefully with a wooden spoon so as to not break the meatballs. Add the salt, ground pepper, and parsley and cook on medium heat for 15 minutes, then cover and cook on low heat for 2 1/2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and burning on bottom of pan.

• Add the mince and cook, breaking up with a fork, until the meat has all changed colour.
• Add the bell pepper and cook for a minute or two.
• Now add the tomato paste and"cook it out" for another minute or two before adding the wine.
• Allow the wine to reduce a little, before adding the remaining sauce ingredients.

CREAMY CROCK POT SPAGHETTI FOR A CROWD

Steps:

• Coat the bottom of a large pan over medium heat with canola oil. Add ground beef (or turkey or sausage) and brown with onion, garlic, salt, black pepper. Drain.
• Spray the bottom of the slow cooker. Add 1/2 of the first jar of sauce then the browned meat.
• Add the second half of the first jar of sauce. Add the spaghetti. I break it in half to fit in my slow cooker.
• Add a jar full of water and then the second jar of sauce.
• Cut half of the butter into chunks and sprinkle it on top of the sauce.
• Pour half of the heavy cream on the sauce, sprinkle half the parmesan cheese on top.
• Add half of the dried italian seasoning.
• Put the lid on the slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hours.
• After 3 hours (or less 2-1/2 is ok too) check the pasta. It will be clumped together and chewy. Mix the pasta and the sauce together to bring the uncooked noodles closer to the top. Try not to dig too deep into the meat, but it's ok if you do.
• Add the last jar of sauce and half a jar of water. This is where you have to judge how done the pasta is and how much more time it will need to cook. Add the remaining parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and butter to the sauce. Replace the lid and cook for another hour or until the pasta is just done.
• Stir everything completely together and serve.
