Favorit Spaghetti
2 lbs Italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 cups water (for a long period of simmering for flavors to meld. If you don't want to simmer it as long, add less)
3 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine (a good cabernet!)
1 lb thin spaghetti
parmesan cheese
In large, heavy stockpot, brown Italian sausage, breaking up as you stir. Add onions and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until onions are softened. Add garlic, tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce and water. Add basil, parsley, brown sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.

Beef Stroganoff with noodles:
1lb hamburger
4ozs cream cheese
spoonful sour cream
1 jar heinz homemade beef gravy
salt and pepper
egg noodles, or rice
brown the hamburger, you can add some onion to it if you like, and also some mushrooms, canned are probably the best, I just don't like mushrooms. Boil your noodles and drain. For the sauce, heat up the can of beef gravy, cut up the cream cheese and mix with the gravy and add the sour cream and a little salt and pepper, you will probably need a little bit more salt, and make sure you salt your hamburger when you cook it. Its a very simple and really good recipe, the cream cheese gives it a nice zing, this is my husbands favorite recipe.
Linguine with white clam sauce. I love it, it's so refreshing compared to most "heavy" pasta dishes.
I like this at the olive garden..have not tried this recipe...
Copycat of Olive Garden's Portobello Mushroom Ravioli:
1 Pound Portobello mushrooms
1 onion
1/4 Cup butter
salt and pepper to taste
Dumplings:
1-1/2 Cups cake flour
2 eggs
1/2 tbsp salt
2 Tablespoons baking powder
Directions: Finely chop mushrooms. Peel and finely chop onion. Melt butter in a skillet and sauté the onion for approximately five minutes or until transparent. Add mushrooms and stir-fry over high heat for about five minute so that all liquid is evaporated. Reduce heat and cook for another five minutes. Remove from heat and let mixture cool. Place mixture inside the dough and create dumplings. Place dumplings in boiling water and boil for approximately 20 minutes until done. Melt the remaining butter. Pour over the ravioli, mix and serve. Note: You can use a mix of portobello and button mushrooms or Portobello only. Dumplings: Yield 15 - 20 dumplings Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Roll dough on a flat surface until dough is 1/4 inch thick. Make circles of the dough.With fingertip or cooking brush, spread some water on the edges. Fill with mushroom mixture.

A classic traditional pasta such as:
Spaghetti con burro e pomodori (Spaghetti with butter and tomato sauce)
Put pasta water on to boil. Salt it generously. When water boils, add in 1 package of (thick) spaghetti. Cook about 1 minute less than package indicates for al dente pasta.
In the mean time, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted, best-quality butter in a saute pan over medium heat. When butter starts to foam, add 2 cloves of minced garlic. Heat until butter smells garlicky and is completely melted then dump in a large can of whole, peeled tomatoes. Smash tomatoes up with a wooden spoon.
Continue simmering until sauce is reduced by about a third, 20 minutes or so. Salt and pepper to taste. Toss with hot, cooked pasta. Pass the grated parmesan or pecorino romano cheese.Serves 4 as a main dish or 6 as a starter.
Serve with Focaccia or loaves of Italian Garlic Bread,salad(I do spinach salad w/hot bacon dressing) andTiramsu for dessert.I have made this for a very nice change..for years my sister in law has made this for friends in a big nesco.Delicious!!! In fact....I'm making this for a group of 15 this week end for some eldery friends.

Ciao! I'm an italian girl that just moved to the states! I have 2 great recipes for you! One is with smoked salomn and the other with vegetables.
SMOKED SALMON AND MASCARPONE CHEESE PASTA 4 serving ( u can add pasta, salmon and mascarpone in the quantity you prefered)
Cooke 400 gr pasta al dente as you always do.
mean while, in a fryed pan, heat 4 spoons of olive oil. Add 250 gr SMOKED salmon to it (it needs to be cut in little squares, like half inch squares). Cook it for like 4-5 minutes, just the time to see it turning from dark red-pink to light pink. While the salmon is cooking take 250 gr mascarpone cheese (you will find it in every supermarket) and mix it with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 table spoon of heavy cream. When the pasta in ready, mix it with the salmon and the mascarpone cheese , put it in a casserule and in the heaven untill the mascarpone cheese is melted. Serve it hot.
PASTA CON SUGO DI VERDURE
4 sevings
you will need
400 gr pasta
3 carrots
1 onions
3 peppers
1eggplant
4 zucchine
3 fresh-peled tomatoes
5 slices of bacon
2 tblespoon of sourcream
What is important in this recipe is that the vegetables need to be cut in very very small pcs...as small as you can and this will take all of your patience! The vegetables also need to stay separate untill it's time to mix it with the pasta.
So, in a fried pan, heat 1 tbs of olive oil, add the onions and the peled tomatoes. Cook them untill their water is gone and put them in a dplate. Then take a other spoon of olive oil, heat it and cook the 3 carrots. When you done it, do the same with the 3 peppers, the 1 eggpalnt, the 4 zucchine, one type of vegetable at the time ( u can use the same pan thou). After you done with the veggies, cook the bacon (it needs to be cutted in small pcs as well)
When all is cooked, you can go ahead and cook the pasta. When it's ready, take a big fryed pan. Add some olive oil, the pasta and all the veggies, the bacon plus the sour cream. Mix them all together with the heat on. You can prepare this sauce in advance if you want and keep it in fridge for 5 days.
