Steps:

• 1. Saute onions, celery and green pepper in salad oil, stirring frequently. Add garlic, cook 2 minutes longer.

Let cool in draft-free area (cover with towels to be sure) Check lids to be sure they are sealed. (Press center of lid with your finger. If it moves and makes a "click", the jar is not sealed.)

Make sure the water level is at least one inch over top of jars too. Also, add lid over canner while processing. Process 35 minutes for pints. Process 45 minutes for quarts. Remove from canner. Let cool in draft-free area (cover with towels to be sure). Let sit for 24 hours to cool down before storing. Check lids to be sure they are sealed. (Press center of lid with your finger.

MY DAD'S SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• You need to start by doing the following in parallel: brown the hamburger and make the sauce. In a large saute pan (I recommend 5 quart) start browning the hamburger on low to medium heat. Be careful not to over-brown it before you dump in the sauce. In a 2.5qt sauce pan start warming up the Tomato Sauce and Paste. Warm up and stir the paste until it breaks down. Add in the spices and just keep stirring it together. Make sure the hamburger doesn't over-brown! Once you don't see any pink in the hamburger, dump in the sauce and mix together. You want to simmer this, and stir occasionally for at least 10-15 minutes. This is one of those things where the longer you simmer the better. You can add small amounts of water to keep it moist if it dries out. You can start boiling your water for the noodles any time. At sea level, spaghetti noodles take me exactly 12 minutes to cook. Make sure you add Olive Oil to the noodle water, and salt only after it's boiling. After the noodles are cooked, dump out drain, and rinse with cold water thoroughly. After rinsed, I usually run hot water over them to warm them up. Or sometimes I just put the pot back on the burner for a few seconds. Serve and enjoy! Thanks Dad.

THE GODFATHER'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot.
• Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Do not let the garlic burn.
• Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously so that a relatively smooth consistence is reached.
• Add sausages and meatballs and stir until the meat is coated.
• Add a splash of red wine, then the sugar according to taste.
• Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• Serve by ladling over cooked pasta.
• Tip: It's not in the movie, but a teaspoon each of basil and oregano is suggested.
• Tip 2: If you're using canned whole tomatoes, draining them and then crushing them by hand will result in a chunky sauce. Canned crushed tomatoes will create a slightly thinner sauce, while canned chopped tomatoes will result in a thicker sauce.
