Lucys Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Brown garlic in olive oil.
• Add onions and gently saute until crunchy and brown.
• When onions are almost done, add parsley and saute until limp.
• Cook pasta in boiling water until al dente.
• While pasta is cooking, beat eggs, cheese, and basil together.
• Drain pasta and place in serving bowl.
• Fold egg mixture into hot pasta.
• Add onion mixture and mix well.
• Sprinkle with pepper and top with additional parsley, basil and Parmesan.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
• For the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, dried oregano and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add both types of canned tomatoes and 1 cup of water from the pasta pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer until thickened and flavorful, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Once the meatballs are browned and the sauce has thickened, nestle the meatballs into the sauce and spoon a little of the sauce over each meatball. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cover and simmer while the pasta cooks, about 10 minutes.
• Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain the spaghetti and place on a platter. Spoon some sauce onto the spaghetti and toss to coat. Nestle the cooked meatballs into the noodles. Top with desired amount of sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, the fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, for serving.
• Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine the beef and sausage in a large bowl and spread out the meat with a wooden spoon. Season with salt. Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, onion, parsley and garlic in a large bowl and mix well with your hands to combine. Divide into 8 equal balls. Use your thumb to hollow out the center of a ball so it resembles a bowl. Stick a mozzarella ball inside and press to seal the mozzarella inside the meat mixture. Roll into a ball and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture and mozzarella.
• Bake until the meatballs are well browned, 18 to 22 minutes. (They will cook more in the sauce).

Steps:

• Mix together creamed corn, whole kernel corn, and uncooked macaroni. Slice the butter or margarine, and mix into the corn mixture along with the cheese. Place in a buttered casserole dish. Cover.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Uncover, stir, and bake uncovered for 30 more minutes.
