CHRISTMAS SPAGHETTI

Christmas Spaghetti image

Original recipe that has remained the same for many years and has been declared as a Family Tradition. I am not sure about times because we used to know when it was ready by looking at the color of the salsa (sauce). It needs to be more orange than red or pink. It has to boil inside. Serve with bread and enjoy.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
6 basil leaves
1 ½ pounds spaghetti
2 teaspoons butter
½ cup garlic herb butter, cut into 1-teaspoon chunks
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 pound American cheese, shredded
1 pound red bell peppers, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
12 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Stir olive oil and basil leaves into the boiling water; cook spaghetti, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
Grease a large casserole dish with 2 teaspoons butter. Loosely pile about 1/3 of the spaghetti into the casserole dish; do not pack. Dot spaghetti with about 1/3 of the garlic herb butter.
Combine evaporated milk, American cheese, red bell peppers, and salt in a blender, working in batches if necessary; blend until smooth.
Sprinkle spaghetti in the dish with 1/3 the Monterey Jack cheese and pour 1/3 the blended American cheese sauce over the top. Layer 1/3 the remaining spaghetti, 1/3 the garlic herb butter, 1/3 the Monterey Cheese, and 1/3 the sauce twice more. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven until the dish is bubbling and the sauce has darkened slightly from pink to orange, about 30 minutes.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) box spaghetti, cooked
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lb ground beef
1 (12 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes, mashed
1/2 cup stuffed green olive, sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup American cheese, grated
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (4 ounce) can mushroom pieces
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup

Steps:

Sauté onions, bell pepper, and garlic in 5 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add beef and cook until no longer pink.
Add stewed tomatoes, olives, salt, pepper, and cheese.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Then add Worcestershire sauce, mushroom pieces and tomato soup.
Combine mixture with cooked spaghetti, refrigerate overnight.
To serve, heat in oven at 350°F for approximately 45-60 minutes, or until heated through.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your Christmas spaghetti even more delicious. Look for ripe tomatoes, tender zucchini, and flavorful Parmesan cheese.
Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a bit of a bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing. This will make them soggy and bland.
Add the vegetables to the sauce in stages: This will help to prevent the vegetables from becoming overcooked. Add the vegetables that take longer to cook, such as zucchini and carrots, first. Then, add the vegetables that cook more quickly, such as tomatoes and peas.
Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
Serve the spaghetti with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread: This will help to complete the dish and make it even more enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Christmas spaghetti is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for a holiday meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a Christmas spaghetti that will impress your family and friends.
