Papa Vento's Sugo and Meatballs
Posted by artsycook at recipegoldmine.com 6/11/01 3:53:19 pm
Sorry, I just couldn't do one as there are several I get asked for a lot but this first one, my Dad's sauce and meatballs is the one I'm always asked to bring/cater to everybody's functions. Some have tried to make it themselves but say it never turns out the same as mine so I get to do the work. I'm sure any of you can make it!
3 to 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons light olive oil
4 small (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 small (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons regular or garlic salt
3 tablespoons sweet basil
1/2 to 1 teaspoon black pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons dry white wine or vermouth
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender. Add garlic and sauté until the onion just BEGINS to turn golden.
Add the paste (and 1 can of water for every can of paste) and the tomato sauce stirring until blended. Add the salt, pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer (low boil) for 20 minutes (scraping off any foam that develops on top.) Add basil and simmer for 3 hours.
Taste and add additional seasoning if needed. Add the wine and sugar and meatballs. Simmer and additional 2 to 3 hours to desired thickness. Serve over pasta.
Options: Use this sauce for eggplant Parmigiana, lasagna or and other dish that requires spaghetti sauce. Put browned meatballs or Italian sausage in to the sauce the last 3 hours of cooking. Put an uncooked chuck roast into it for the last 3 to 4 hours, shred and return to pot for a shredded beef sauce. Add browned ground beef the last 30 minutes for a beef sauce.
Meatballs
1/4 cup milk
1 slice white bread, crust trimmed
1 pound ground pork or beef
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1/3 cup fresh parmesan
1 egg
Salt and black pepper
Flour and oil
Warm milk in a small saucepan. Add bread to absorb milk. Squeeze excess milk from bread.
In a medium bowl, with your hands, mix the next 5 ingredients with the bread until blended together. Form balls the size of golf balls. Put flour in a small bowl and roll balls into the flour. Shake excess.
In a large skillet, Heat oil 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep, over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides. Put the meatballs into your spaghetti sauce and simmer the last 2 to 4 hours. (They’ll be more tender the longer you cook them.) You can broil these meatballs, then simmer in the sauce for a meatball with less fat, but I like this recipe (fried) because its texture is outstanding and the flavor is...well...make them and see for yourself!

Nana's & Papa's Place PlaqueView This Product at Amazon
This wall plaque by Spooner Creek is the work of Wisconsin artist Michael Macone. He's been selling his pottery throughout the country for over 30 years, and his art is in collections around the world. His designs are etched into the clay rather than just applied to the surface. This gives his work a dimensional quality that can be appreciated with the hand as well as the eye. All colors are hand glazed and each piece is kiln fired twice to nearly 2000 degrees. The result is a fade proof, weather proof work of art that will last a lifetime indoors or out. Plaque reads "Nana & Papa's Place - there's a whole lotta spoilin' goin' on here."
The Mamas & the Papas - Greatest HitsView This Product at Amazon
The Mamas and the Papas had a sound that helped define a portion of the 1960s. Their breezy folk classics had a bit of San Francisco psychedelia woven in, and, despite the sweet harmonies, there was also a noticeably dark feel to some of their more popular work. "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday" both utilized enough minors to give them a spooky edge. Greatest Hits is an essential part of any audiophile's collection, especially if they don't have the original recordings that spawned the hits. "Dedicated to the One I Love" is almost ironic for its tenderness, considering the turmoil that rumbled through the band's interrelationships. While John and Michelle Phillips and Denny Doherty were all responsible for the success of the Mamas and the Papas, listening to this collection reveals that the late great Mama Cass was not only the heart but the soul of the band. Greatest Hits closes with her "Dream a Little Dream of Me," and serves as a touching tribute to Cass Elliot's talent. --Steve Gdula

InfestView This Product at Amazon
Papa Roach is a breed apart in the nearly overfull rap-rock arena. The Northern California-bred quartet lacks the bluster of Limp Bizkit and the political agenda of Rage Against the Machine, instead serving up an ultra-intense, highly personal brand of funk-punk-rock-rap on their stunning major-label debut. Closer in spirit to Faith No More than Korn, Papa Roach's signature sound is defined by Coby Dick's raspy, forceful vocals. Dick's pointed lyrics astutely address everything from divorce ("Broken Home") and attention deficit disorder ("Thrown Away") to alcoholism ("Binge"). Jerry Horton's memorable, melodic, and insinuating guitar lines and the band's aggro, moshable rhythms provide added weight. Papa Roach's intensity is never forced; the songs here are varied, discrete, tuneful, and cohesive. Indeed, the mellow, reggae- like "Tightrope" is as compelling as the commanding "Last Resort," making Infest one of the most arresting heavy-music debuts of 2000. -- Katherine Turman
OdysseyView This Product at Amazon
Andrei Konchalovsky's expansive television mini-series production of Homer's epic poem gets off to clumsy start as he tries to squeeze the Trojan War into a mere half hour, but once the arrogant but honorable Odysseus (strikingly played by Armand Assante) and his loyal crew begin their doomed voyage home, this film turns into a fantastical adventure. Integrating often-stunning special effects with inventive art design, Konchalovsky achieves a beautiful look on a limited budget as he follows the 10-year ordeal of Odysseus from his battles with the Cyclops and the magical Circe (Bernadette Peters) to his secret homecoming and his confrontation with the treacherous Eurymachus (Eric Roberts). Isabella Rossellini appears as his spiritual guide, the goddess Athena, with Greta Scacchi as Odysseus's faithful wife and Vanessa Williams as the seductive Calypso. The rest of the cast includes Geraldine Chaplin, Jeroen Krabbé, Christopher Lee, and Irene Papas. The production was shot on location in and around the Mediterranean, making for a lush, lovely visual experience. --Sean Axmaker

Anne of The Thousand DaysView This Product at Amazon
This lush, perfectly cast 1969 drama concerns both a doomed, royal love affair and a pivotal moment in British history. Based on Maxwell Anderson's 1948 play, Anne of the Thousand Days concerns the mess that surrounded King Henry VIII's decision to rid himself of his first wife, Catherine of Aragon (Irene Papas), and marry the young Anne Boleyn (Geneviève Bujold). Anglophiles know what happened next: Henry (Richard Burton) solved his problems with the Vatican's condemnation of divorce by having himself named head of the Church of England (see also A Man for All Seasons), while Anne's perceived problem conceiving a male heir made her vulnerable to plots by the nefarious likes of Oliver Cromwell (John Colicos). Director Charles Jarrott does a splendid job bringing all of these intrigues to life, though the story is ultimately about Anne, a naive young woman who prepares herself to navigate some of the dangers of Henry's court. Bujold and Burton never gave better performances, and this strange, tragic chapter in the history of the kings of England has never been more compellingly told on film. --Tom Keogh
