THE GODFATHER : - Spaghetti Sauce Recipe




















You may well have gathered by now that I do like the odd gangster film, but then again who doesn't?  So I think it is about time that I blog the spaghetti sauce recipe from the ultimate gangster movie of all time, The Godfather. So why not sit down with your mates and try this recipe whilst watching the film, now that's an offer you can't refuse!


Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 (28 ounce) cans tomatoes (whole, crushed or chopped)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
3 Italian sausages, grilled and sliced
1 lb meatball, cooked (use your favorite recipe)
red wine, just a splash
1/4 cup sugar (or to taste)

How to cook it

1.  Heat the oil over medium heat in a large pot
2.  Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Do not let the garlic burn.
3.  Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously so that a relatively smooth consistence is reached.
4.  Add sausages and meatballs and stir until the meat is coated.
5.  Add a splash of red wine, then the sugar according to taste.
6.  Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
7.  Serve by ladling over cooked pasta.


Why not watch Clemenza showing Michael how its done?
