MEAT SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI



Meat Sauce and Spaghetti image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

6 ounces thick sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 whole cloves
1 whole star anise pod
3 stalks celery, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, 3 minced and 2 sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
8 ounces coarsely ground beef chuck
8 ounces coarsely ground pork butt
1 1/4 cups white wine, divided
3/4 cup evaporated milk
3 cups beef broth
1-ounce dried porcini mushrooms, finely chopped
2 (28-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried marjoram
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 gallon water
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 pound dry spaghetti

Steps:

  • For the meat sauce:
  • Place an 8-quart Dutch oven over low heat and add the bacon. Cook slowly until the bacon is crispy and has rendered its fat, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan for another use. Add the onion, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Place the clove and star anise into a small spice bag, add to the Dutch oven and stir to combine. Cook, uncovered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions caramelize, 45 to 60 minutes. Add the celery and the 3 cloves of minced garlic to the pan and continue to cook over low heat until the celery is semi-translucent, approximately 30 minutes. Remove the spice bag from the pot.
  • Meanwhile, place a wide 4-quart saute pan, over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and once it shimmers, add the beef chuck and the pork butt and cook, stirring frequently, until the meat is well browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a colander to drain. Return the pan to high heat, add 1/2 cup of the wine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Transfer these bits and any remaining wine to the Dutch oven along with the meat.
  • Add another 1/2 cup of the wine, evaporated milk, beef broth, and mushrooms to the Dutch oven and stir to combine. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours.
  • Once the sauce has been cooking for 1 1/2 hours, place the 4-quart saute pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once it shimmers, add the 2 cloves of sliced garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds or until fragrant. Do not allow the garlic to brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, basil, and marjoram and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, approximately 30 minutes. Add the remaining 1/4 cup wine, tomato paste, ketchup, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine. Decrease the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Increase the heat to medium high; add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer the tomato mixture to the meat mixture and stir to combine. Simmer the sauce, uncovered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, while preparing the pasta.
  • For the pasta:
  • Bring the water and salt to a boil over high heat. Carefully add the pasta, stirring quickly to separate. Cover and return to a boil, being careful that the water does not boil over. Once boiling again, uncover and continue to cook until slightly less than al dente, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander.
  • Add the pasta to the meat sauce and cook, over low heat, for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta is al dente. Add the Parmesan cheese and toss to combine. Transfer pasta and sauce to a serving bowl or individual bowls and serve.

This is very good, and it was a great way to use those garden tomatoes for later. I used a combination of beef and turkey, but I would have used all 3 if it was handy.

Categories     Spaghetti

Time 2h10m

Yield 5 quart jars, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

30 lbs tomatoes
2 1/2 lbs ground beef or 2 1/2 lbs ground sausage
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped seeded green bell peppers or 1 cup celery
1 lb mushroom, sliced
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash tomatoes, removing stems and any bruised or discolored portions.
  • Core and quarter 6 tomatoes and place in a large stainless steel saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat. Using a potato masher, crush tomatoes to release juices, stirring constantly.
  • While maintaining a boil and stirring to prevent scorching, core and quarter additional tomatoes, adding them to the saucepan as you work. Make sure the mixture continues to boil vigorously while you add, stir and crush the remaining tomatoes.
  • When all tomatoes have been added, reduce heat and boil gently until tomatoes are soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Working in batches, press tomato mixture through a fine sieve, electric strainer, or food mill. Discard peels and seeds. Set puree aside.
  • Prepare weighted-gauge pressure canner, jars, and lids.
  • In a large stainless steel skillet, over medium heat, brown ground beef, breaking it up with a fork, until no longer pink.

  • In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine reserved tomato puree, meat mixture, parsley, brown sugar, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, until the texture of the sauce is to desired consistency and heated through.
  • Ladle hot sauce into hot jars, leaving 1 inch headspace. Reduce air bubbles and adjust headspace, if necessary, by adding hot sauce.
  • Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to figertip-tight.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your spaghetti sauce. Use fresh, ripe tomatoes, garlic, and herbs for the best results.
  • Brown the meat well: Browning the meat adds depth of flavor to the sauce. Be sure to brown the meat in a hot pan until it is browned on all sides.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Once the sauce is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the sauce reaches your desired flavor.
  • Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta: Spaghetti sauce is traditionally served with spaghetti, but it can also be served with other types of pasta, such as penne, macaroni, or linguine.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti sauce with meat is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
