ZAPPA FAMILY SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Zappa Family Spaghetti Sauce image

I have spent a lifetime trying to duplicate the red sauce and meatball recipe my mother, Anne Marie Zappa, cooked every week when I was growing up. I'll never do it, but this is close. This is a forgiving recipe. Maybe you want to add a couple of chicken thighs, or mix in a few browned hot sausages. Just keep a good ration of pork to beef.

JIM'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Jim's Spaghetti Sauce image

This is not your typical spaghetti sauce! The recipe comes from my grandma, and is an old family favorite. We also like to use any leftover sauce as hot dog sauce. Very meaty, very comforting. Makes a large pot, for a small gathering the recipe can be divided in half. Leftover sauce also freezes well.

Time 3h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 lbs ground beef
24 ounces tomato paste
30 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 cup sugar
4 bay leaves
3 large onions, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic powder
4 teaspoons salt
5 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar

  • Serve over hot spaghetti.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 682.1, Fat 35.5, SaturatedFat 13.6, Cholesterol 154.2, Sodium 2600.4, Carbohydrate 45.4, Fiber 7.9, Sugar 30.4, Protein 48.5

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful garlic and onions, and high-quality olive oil will make a big difference in the taste of your spaghetti sauce.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds flavor and depth to the sauce. Don't crowd the meat in the pan, or it will steam instead of brown.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Add some red wine: Red wine adds a nice depth of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have red wine, you can use beef broth or water.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.

Conclusion:

This spaghetti sauce is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used with a variety of pasta dishes. It's also a great way to use up leftover meat and vegetables. Whether you're making a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner, this spaghetti sauce is sure to please everyone at the table.
