  1. This may sound unrealistic but I am looking for a good,
    thick, non watery meat spaghetti sauce, preferasbly with no
    wine in the sauce recipe.

    Thank you.

    Start with finely chopped celery, carrots, and onion in a
    pot. Add a little EVOO and saute. Add some canned tomato
    puree. If you want thick, making it completely from scratch
    will take several hours. Anyway, from there you add your
    seasonings, cheese, meat, etc.

    The Cook's Illustrated show had a good looking bolognese
    sauce that took less than an hour. I'm not subscribed to
    their site, so I can't dig it up for you, but maybe someone
    can. May 2003 issue.

    Ragu Bolognese Recipe courtesy Mario Batali

    Recipe Summary Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour 30
    minutes Yield: 4 servings 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
    oil 3 tablespoons butter 1 carrot, finely, diced 1 medium
    onion, diced 1 rib celery, finely diced 1 clove garlic,
    sliced 1 pound veal, ground 1 pound pork, ground
    1/4 pound pancetta or slab bacon, ground
    2/2 tube tomato paste 1 cup milk 1 cup dry white wine (use
    water or stock if omitted) Kosher salt and freshly ground
    black pepper Parmigiano-Reggiano, for grating

    In a 6 to 8-quart, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the olive
    oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, and
    garlic and sweat over medium heat until the vegetables are
    translucent and soft but not browned, about 10 to 15
    minutes. Add the veal, pork, and pancetta and stir into the
    vegetables. Add the meat over high heat, stirring to keep
    the meat from sticking together until browned. Add the
    tomato paste, milk, and wine and simmer over medium-low heat
    for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper, to taste,
    and remove from the heat.

    When ready to use, the cooked pasta should be added to a
    saucepan with the appropriate amount of hot ragu Bolognese,
    and tosses so that the pasta is evenly coated by the ragu.

    I'd add off heat.

    Sure:

    Do a search for "Italian Gravy"

    You'll get many many recipes like this one.

    Dimitri

    Italian Gravy This recipe is a homemade spaghetti meat sauce
    that has been passed down to 4 generations of Sicilians. The
    recipe has been altered by each person to fit personal
    preference and taste. Fresh tomatoes can be put in the place
    of the puree but not recommended, due to the high acidity of
    the fresh tomatoes. Prep Time: approx. 45 Minutes. Cook
    Time: approx. 5 Hours . Ready in: approx. 5 Hours 45
    Minutes. Makes 12 servings. Printed from Allrecipes,
    Submitted by Carla R. Bure

    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1 large yellow onion,
    diced 1 clove garlic, minced 4 pounds pork shoulder roast
    1/2 cup white wine 3 cups water 2 teaspoons dried oregano 2
    teaspoons dried parsley 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon
    dried rosemary 3 tablespoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    1 (1ounce) cans tomato puree 6 cups water
    2/4 cup white sugar

    Directions 1 Heat olive oil in a large stock pot over medium
    heat. Saute onions and garlic until lightly browned. Place
    pork shoulder in pot, and pour in 1/2 cup white wine and 3
    cups water. In a small bowl, combine oregano, parsley,
    thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle
    1/4 of spice mixture over pork. Cover, and cook for 30
    minutes turning occasionally. Add water periodically if
    needed. 2 Pour in tomato puree. Fill cans with water, and
    pour in (about 6 cups). Stir in remaining spice mixture and
    the sugar. When liquid starts to bubble, reduce heat to low,
    cover, and cook for 4 to 5 hours. Stir occasionally, and
    adjust seasonings to taste.

    Say you wouldn't have a good recipe for an intensely
    flavored tomato sauce that is meatless (though I suppose it
    would be okay if it were cooked with meat, large pieces I
    mean, that could be removed), and is pretty thick? I had a
    recipe that was perfect, but I only made it once and I can't
    find it now. I haven't been able to replicate it since.

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    With whatever recipe, coat the meat with flour as soon as it
    is browned till all the fat is used up before adding any
    other liquid.

    That will thicken it.

    Depends on two things: What you start with (i.e. fresh
    tomatoes, ground to juice) and what you want added/not
    added (i.e. tomatoe paste as a shortcut/thickener, garlic,
    onion, etc.). If you want to spend several hours cooking
    down juice from fresh squeezed tomatoes, it is a long
    process. If you want a quickie, a thickener can be added.
    Meat should be browned first. Sausage cooked a bit more,
    because of the fat content. Veggies can be pan-fried (such
    as garlic in a bit of oil) or tossed in raw. Many veggies
    can be used, from garlic to mushrooms to green peppers to
    carrots. How do you want to flavor it? I often use homegrown-
    dried basil and/or oregano.

    Picture raw sausage or chicken simmering in sauce for a bit.
    Can you be REALLY sure it's cooked?

    I still have a pint of this in the fridge. I've had some of
    it twice this week, and, as I always say, damn I'm good:

    1 28-oz can Contadina crushed tomatoes in tomato puree 6 oz
    Sicilian rope sausage 1 tbs chopped fresh basil 1 tbs
    chopped fresh oregano 4 cloves chopped fresh garlic 2 tbs
    extra virgin olive oil

    skin and chop the sausage into smallish pieces; fry it in
    the oil for a few minutes to get just a little brown on it

    add the garlic and a little of the basil and oregano and
    sautee until the garlic just starts to brown

    lower the heat and add the tomato sauce (it will splatter
    when it hits the oil so be careful) and the rest of the
    basil and oregano

    simmer while the pasta boils

    drain the pasta and add it to the sauce; cook over medium
    heat, stirring, for one minute

    plate, serve, and cover with fresh grated pecorino-romano
    (or parmesan) cheese

    if this seems too thin, you can either simmer it a little
    longer (start it earlier), or save a couple of tablespoons
    of the pasta cooking water and add it when cooking the pasta
    in the sauce (the starch in the water will actually thicken
    the sauce, but I prefer it to be cleaner); and if it's too
    thick, just add water and cook it in a little

    The color of this sauce in a zip-loc bag in the fridge the
    next day should have its own name.

    What I did tonight, because I tend to get out all of the
    sausage when I use it the first time, was cook another whole
    sausage in oil for 2-3 minutes per side, add some chopped
    garlic, then put it in the oven at 300 while the pasta
    cooks; warm up the sauce, add back the sausage and garlic,
    add the pasta, and cook for a minute (cooking the pasta in
    the sauce helps the sauce stick and penetrate and is the
    reason you stop boiling pasta al dente). Then I just served
    the sausage whole in the dish and used a knife and fork.
    Man. Good eats.

    If the sauce is hot enough and you simmer it long enough,
    yes, absolutely.

    I still sautee mine first to give it some color and more
    flavor though, but never to the point that it's cooked
    through; it finishes just fine in the sauce if it's in small
    enough pieces (1/2 inch or smaller usually).

  19. Tomato sauce recipe - very simple, and very tasty.

    Add some (roughly) chopped tomatoes to a saucepan, and very
    slowly heat them till the liquid starts leeching from the
    fruit. Add a couple of cloves of garlic (no need to take
    the skins off, or even chop), a good handful of fresh
    basil, about half as much fresh oregano, and a drop of good
    olive oil.

    Once the sauce reaches the approximate thickness that you
    are seeking, remove from the heat, and strain into another
    saucepan. This removes the large matter, and leaves you with
    just a tomato sauce. Now, return the sauce to the stove, ad
    a pinch of sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and another
    drizzle of good olive oil.

    The sauce is now ready to use with pasta (ideally you nearly
    cook the pasta in water, and then finish off in the sauce so
    the pasta absorbs the flavours. If you do this however, add
    a small amount of butter to the sauce first. This will
    prevent the sauce seperating on the plate.

    Some extra notes: This sauce can also form the basis of all
    sorts of other sauces. Last week, I added some pancetta and
    chilli, that gave a wonderfully smoky flavour. I think the
    next time I make it, I will finish the sauce off with some
    oven roasted capsicum.
