I never seem to be able to make my own spaghetti sauce. I have tried but it seems that it's not the same. I think my tomatoes aren't crushed enough. I don't like my spaghetti sauce to be chunky.

Also, I tend to like pastas that aren't long and stringy. Too hard to eat. I prefer penne, bow ties, and rotini.

We went to a bridal shower and everyone had to bring 3 recipes with their gift and in return we each recieved a recipe. Here is the one I got:

SAUCE

1.5 lbs of beef short ribs
4 large cloves of crushed garlic
2 qt of tomato juice (strange but true)
1 large can of tomato paste
Combination of Italian spices to taste (oregano, basil, marjoram, etc.)
olive oil
Salt and pepper


In olive oil, fry garlic and brown off the short ribs. Add the tomato
juice and tomato paste. Add spices, salt and pepper to taste. Slow
boil for 30 minutes. Cover and cook for seven hours, add water
occasionally when the sauce gets thick.

Now that's a terrific, fun idea for a shower. I'm keeping that in mind for the next one I plan.

I like white spaghetti better than the red one. We usually cook spaghetti a la carbonara in the house using tuna instead of red meat.

White spaghetti is my favorite as well, I don't have it with anything except sauce. I'm a bland person.

I'll also eat spaghetti without sauce, it doesn't taste as good, but I'll still eat it that way.
