This is the best sauce you'll ever taste. The recipe was given to me by my sister who found it in an old cookbook. I've typed it as it appears in the book, but I also add meatballs, pepperoni (cut in 2 chunks) and sweet and hot Italian sausages. My Grandmother use to add chicken, rabbit, pork chops and/or steak to her sauce (a recipe I wish I had). All of which can be served on the side and make a wonderful addition to the meal. Please note that the serving size is for 1 pound of pasta, however, you may prefer to use less or more. In ( ) at the end of each ingredient are the proportions I use when I make this recipe. Freezes well. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 lbs pork spareribs, cut in halves or thirds depending on size |
1 medium onion, chopped fine |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes |
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste |
6 ounces water, use tomato paste can |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon dry oregano |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds |
Directions:
1. Brown ribs in oil.
2. Remove ribs from oil and saute the onions and garlic till transparent.
3. Add tomatoes and water.
4. Raise heat and allow sauce to boil, mixing occasionally so bottom doesn't burn.
5. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 2 hours till meat is falling off the bones.
6. Note: As other reviewers have attested - the ribs will not make the sauce greasy. Enjoy! : ).
