SHEILA'S HOMEMADE SPAGHETTI

Sheila's Homemade Spaghetti image

This is a recipe my mother made for us while growing up. With eleven children to feed she made her Homemade Spaghetti with meatballs and sausage almost every Sunday. My mother was one who would say if you kids want to learn to cook watch me. Well, I was one who did watch, and I think it is real close to hers.

I've been looking for a good sangria recipe for some time. I checked out several recipes, combined the best of everything and came up with the perfect mix that would easily rival my favorite local lounge's sangria! Measurements are approximate and to taste but don't scrimp on any of the flavors. Add more juice or rum until it knocks your socks off....then it's your perfect sangria.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your spaghetti. If possible, use fresh tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture of cooked pasta. It should be slightly firm to the bite, not mushy.
Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be simmered for just long enough to allow the flavors to meld, but not so long that it becomes thick and gloppy.
Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in Italian cooking, and it adds a delicious flavor to spaghetti. Use a good quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best results.
Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or oregano, add a final touch of flavor and color to your spaghetti.
