This makes a nice base for meat sauce, pink sauce, or clam sauce. Vincent "Buddy" Cianci is the former mayor of Providence, R.I. He is credited with the revitalization of Downtown Providence and Federal Hill (Italian neighborhood of R.I.). He is also known for his criminal activity. He was convicted of racketeering in 2002 and was sentenced to 6 years in prison.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef
1/2 red onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bell pepper, any color, diced
4 ounces cremini mushrooms, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat large, deep sided pan on medium to medium high heat.
  • Coat bottom of pan with a couple tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
  • Heat a large pot of water on high until boiling for the pasta.
  • Once the oil starts to ripple but before it starts smoking, dump in the onions, mushrooms and red pepper flakes. Stir the pan occasionally.
  • Once the onions start to soften and the mushrooms brown (about 5-7 minutes), season with salt and stir the pan.
  • Now add the bell pepper and zucchini and stir the pan occasionally.
  • Once the pepper and zucchini begin to soften, add in the garlic and season again with salt continuing to stir the pan occasionally.
  • At this point, the pot of water should be boiling. Season the water liberally with salt and add the pasta. Cook to al dente.
  • Once the garlic is very fragrant, stir in the ground beef and break it up into little pieces.
  • Continue to cook until meat is browned all the way through.
  • Stir in the marinara sauce. It will be pretty thick, so add in about 1/2 cup of pasta water to thin.
  • Bring sauce to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the pasta and put in bowls.
  • Once the sauce is done, pour over the pasta and then add some parmigiano cheese if you'd like!

MAGIC BULLET SPAGHETTI SAUCE (MARINARA)



Magic Bullet Spaghetti Sauce (Marinara) image

This recipe for Im"meat"iate Spaghetti Sauce (Marinara)is posted from the Magic Bullet manual for a photo demo in the Kitchen & Gadgets Forum here on Food.com. I have abbreviated the instructions slightly for clarity. Note that this recipe calls for RAW meat. It's then cooked with the sauce in the microwave, but pre-cooking the meat in the Bullet cup and then proceeding with the recipe is also acceptable. Be sure to reduce the cooking time though.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces spaghetti noodles
1/4 cup chicken broth
10 -12 cherry tomatoes (or 1 regular tomato, quartered)
1 white pearl onion (or 1/4 cup chopped regular onion)
2 tablespoons red wine (optional, replace with broth or water if desired)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 garlic cloves
2 sprigs basil
1/4 cup ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 pinch italian seasoning (optional)

  • Start boiling water for pasta and cook per package directions.
  • Add all sauce ingredients in the order listed, to the TALL CUP and twist on the CROSS BLADE.
  • Place the cup on the Magic Bullet machine and press down on the cup for one second, then release pressure. Pause to let the ingredients settle, then quickly pulse again.

  • Twist off the cross blade and twist on the large-holed SHAKER/Steamer Top.
  • Place the cup in the microwave and cook on high for 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked. Microwaves vary, so check the mixture at about 7 minutes. If it starts to look dry, use an oven mitt to remove the cup from the microwave, stir the mixture and add a little more wine or water. Return to microwave to finish cooking.
