Spaghetti With Superb Meat Sauce

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Main Dish Italian
Sauces

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 pound Beef roast
2 Bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon Oregano leaves
1 cup Red wine — dry
1/2 teaspoon Basil leaves
1 teaspoon Celery salt
3 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Ripe olives — sliced
1/2 teaspoon Parsley — finely chopped
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1/4 cup Flour
1/2 cup Stuffed olives — sliced
1/2 teaspoon Rosemary leaves — crushed
2 teaspoon Sugar
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 4 oz can mushrooms
2 cup Hot water
1/2 teaspoon Red pepper — crushed
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg — fresh ground
4 pound Spaghetti
4 Garlic — squashed
1 tablespoon Season-all
4 Tomatoe paste — 6 oz cans
Parmesan cheese — grated
1 Onion — finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon MSG
1 quart Water

Long, slow simmering of meat and herbs produces the base for this incomparable
sauce. Season roast with salt; dredge with flour. In Dutch oven brown slowly
on all sides in hot olive oil. Add hot water; cover and cook slowly 3 hours or
until meat almost falls apart. Tear into small pieces with fork. Add
remaining ingredients except spaghetti and cheese.

Cover tightly and simmer 2 hours longer, stirring occasionally. Remove cover
and continue cooking until sauce thickens to desired consistency.

Cook spaghetti following directions on package, allowing 1 pound for 4
servings. Ladle sauce over spaghetti. Top with cheese. Makes about 3 1/2
quarts sauce, enough for 4 pounds spaghetti. NOTE: Since you may not need such
a large quantity of spaghetti, freeze extra sauce in half-pint, pint or quart
freezer jars and use as needed. I prefer to use rump roast, but chuck or round
is acceptable.

Title: PFEFFERNUESSE (GERMAN PEPPERNUTS)
Categories: Cookies, German
Yield: 25 servings

3 1/2 c Flour
2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Nutmeg
1/2 ts Allspice
1/2 ts Cloves
1/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Pepper
1/4 ts Mace

beating 15 minutes longer or until thick and fluffy.
Add flour mixture in thirds, adding lemon peel,
citron, and almonds to last third and blending
thoroughly after each addition. Turn half the dough
out onto lightly floured surface. Roll out 1/2 inch
thick. Cut with 1-inch round cutter (inside of
doughnut cutter works well) and place 1 inch apart on
greased cookie sheets.
Reroll scraps. Let stand uncovered at room
temperature overnight. When ready to bake, turn
cookies over so moist side is up; put drop of brandy
in center of each. Bake in preheated 300 degree F.
oven 20 minutes or until cookies “pop” and are baked
through. (Break one in half; if not sticky, it’s
done.) Remove to racks to cool. Makes 90 cookies. NOTE
cookies improve with age. Store in tightly covered
container. Add a piece of apple to container a few
days before serving to soften them. Per cookie: 48
cal, 1 g pro, 9 g car, 1 g fat, 11 mg chol.
A drop of brandy on the top before baking causes
them to “pop,” giving them a characteristic topknot.
