Nonnis Pasta Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Peel 5 cloves garlic and place them in a square of foil. Sprinkle the cloves with salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Wrap up the foil and place it directly on the oven rack. (Be sure that the foil packet is secure so no oil will leak out.) Roast the garlic until it's brown and tender, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool enough to touch and squeeze the garlic from the skins. Set aside.
• Saute onions and carrots with the oil in a medium saucepan. Add tomato paste and stir well. This will cook off the tomato paste and give a nice orangy color. Cook for about 10 minutes. When vegetables are softened add the roasted garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano and stir together until incorporated. Pour in the tomatoes. Fill the empty can with water and add it to the pan. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1 hour, uncovered. Stir occasionally. Once sauce is ready carefully pour it into the food processor and puree until smooth.

Steps:

• 1. In a large sauté pan, crumble and brown Italian sausage. Add diced yellow onion, if using.
• 2. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Stir intermittently, about every 10 minutes.
• 3. Simmer on low for at least 30 minutes, but an hour and a half is best!
• 4. Mix with spaghetti, penne, lasagna, or your favorite cooked pasta. Top with parmesan cheese and serve with crusty garlic bread and green salad. And if you like wine, it pairs well with a red!

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, sugar, bacon, salt, basil, and red pepper flakes. Simmer until flavors combine, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
• Put meat on a baking tray and bake, until juices run clear, about 20 minutes Process the carrot and onion together in a food processor, till smooth.
• Fry garlic in oil in a large saucepan, add the carrot and onion and bay leaf, fry for 5 minutes.
• Add tomatoes and wine, bring to a boil.
• Lower heat to simmer and add the cooked meat, leaving whole.
