Recipe

my gmother always used to make pasta sauce with vegetables, like Prego Chunky vegetables.

I have that recipe:

1-2 onions
1 can of tomato sauce
2 cans tomato paste, stewed tomatoes
oregano
basil
2 cloves garlic
salt & pepper
add water to desired consistency
1 cup mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil

if you want it to be a meat sauce, add meat :)

Sautee everything except for tomato paste, sauce, stewed tomatoes, and meat for about 10 minutes. afterwards add tomato products and meat and let simmer. the longer the better.

Hi Kthln01

Yes, mincemeat or flaked dried cod (Bacalao) (boil it and skin it first, then flake it)

You might also experiment with 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce, 1tsp of lemon juice, and 1 tsp of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena.

Adjust the salt late in the process; with the dried cod you won't need any ;)

And the pasta?........................it has to be radiatori for IT people.................they look like miniature heatsinks

:D

sounds good, nihil

never had mincemeat before tho.

I grow my own Chilli's and tend to use them in everything ............

Green Salad, generously sprinkled with Green chilli, gives NO warning :) but is surprisingly tasty .........

One tin chopped tomatoes
2 green chilli's - finely chopped, seeds and all
basil - I use the dried varient, but fresh or frozen works just as well
Oregano - same as for basil
bacon - 2 rashers per person, this is usually for two people

Pasta - at least 4oz [a GOOD handful] per person

fry or boil the bacon first, then put all the ingredients [bar the pasta] into a DEEP pan, and boil up for a wee while [10 mins ish]

prepare pasta [boil]

depending on your type ?
either mix the pasta into the DEEP pan before serving OR load dishes with pasta and THEN load sauce on top.

Pepper to taste, I don't use salt.

For those that can't stand V hot chilli loaded food, add an extra 4 bottles of COLD beer as a side dish for them :D

Sorry Kthln01 you guys would call it "ground steak"

We also have a "mincemeat" that is made of currants, sultanas, raisins and dried fruit peel that is used to make "mince pies" at Christmas.

Come to think of it, we also have faggots :shocked: ................................they are savoury meatballs in a thick dark onion gravy (sauce) :D

yeah, i figured the mincemeat you were talkin about was the type you put in pies.

i've had ground steak.

is there a known reason behind the term 'faggots' to describe meatballs?
i'm sure it wasnt intended to carry the same meaning as US says it.
Doesnt UK used 'faggots' or 'fags' to describe cigarettes?

Pasta o ail

2 cups Olive Oil
min 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1\2 jar capers finely choped
1 can anchovies finely chopped
heat oil and add above ingredients....cook for half hour or til garlic is golden and anchovies\cpers have disolved

just before adding to fresh pasta add 2 cupss fresh parley (chopped)

MLF

Hi Kthln01

Apparently they go back to Roman times. They are called ffagodau in Welsh.

Another meaning is "a bundle of sticks" which would be used as kindling.

Also a "fag" is a cigarette or a junior boy acting as a servant to a senior boy at an English Public (that is private over here :) ) School.

:D

Heigh-ho, no comment, too easy, etc etc! :rofl:


For the pasta sauce...this one is a bit different, as it's "raw" and served at room temperature. My son loves it!


3 large tomatoes, chopped
2 tsp of minced garlic
3 T olive oil
1/2 T balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
2 whole green onions, chopped
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

Mix together in a bowl and let it sit for about an hour, then serve over whatever sort of pasta you like, and add whatever kind of cheese you want (I like the Sargento Italian 5 Cheese stuff!)
