Pasta with Caramelized Onions

onions olive oil fresh parsley Parmesan cheese white wine cooked pasta

Slice up lots of onions (1.5 cups per person). Put them in a saute pan with olive oil or sprayed with Pam and cover. Cook on low heat 45 minutes, until soft. Remove cover, turn heat to medium and cook liquid away. Add salt & pepper (don’t be shy w/ the salt), and continue cooking and stirring onions until they turn golden brown (if they stick a little, that’s ok, just turn the heat down a tad). Splash in a little white wine, and stir it in, scraping up any browned bits. Turn heat to high, stirring and scraping until the wine is gone. Throw in a big handful of fresh parsley (or a smaller handful of dried), toss, and serve over spaghetti. Add parmesan to taste at the table.

Note: I like this just as it is, but Bob’s likes it with a little more sauce. You may want to add some cream or a little tomato sauce or a bit of both.

Pasta with Meatballs

2 c Peeled fresh plum tomatoes

-or canned Italian plum -tomatoes. 4 tb Butter

2 sm Onions, chopped fine

1 Clove garlic, chopped fine

4 sl Bacon, cooked and crumbled

Salt and black pepper 1/2 c Marsala

1/2 ts Dried oregano

1/2 lb Vermicelli

1 c Fresh grated Parmesan or

-Romano cheese —–MEATBALLS—– 1/2 lb Ground chuck

2 sl French bread, moistened

-with 1/2 cup milk and -squeezed dry 1 tb Minced parsley

2 Eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 c Grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and ground pepper 3 tb Vegetable oil

Here’s the recipe I made the other night with the nice pasta sauce. The meatballs were mediocre, mainly because I’d never made meatballs before that I can remember. The sauce, on the other hand, was very tasty. For the pasta I used rigatoni++the first type of pasta I made with the new machine. Serves 4 to 6. 1. Put the tomatoes trough a food mill to puree pulp and remove

seeds. 2. In a large skillet or medium saucepan, melt half the butter and

cook the onions9on until soft. Add the garlic, tomato puree, and crumbled bacon. Then add salt and pepper to taste and boil this sauce hard for five minutes. 3. Add the marsala and oregano, and cook for another 5 minutes. Set

aside. 4. Put all the meatball ingredients except the vegetable oil in a

bowl, and mix with your hands. Shape the mixture into 12 balls, and in the skillet brown them on all sides in the vegetable oil. Do not overcook, they will cook further in the sauce. Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and keep warm. (You can brown the meatballs ahead of time and add them to the sauce when you are ready.) 5. Cook the pasta until al dente, drain well and return to the pot in

which it cooked. Add remaining butter and toss well. Add several large spoonfuls of the tomato sauce and toss well again. Transfer pasta to a large serving platter or bowl. Pour sauce and meatballs overall, serve and pass the cheese. Wine: A chianti classico From “The Joy of Pasta”, Joe Famularo and Louise Imperiale. Baron’s Educational Series, Inc., N.Y. 1983.

Broccoli with Ricotta Over Pasta

1 tb Olive oil

2 md Garlic cloves, chopped fine

1 sm Onion, chopped fine

1/2 tb Whole caraway seeds

1/2 lb Broccoli florets and stems,

-cut into 1/2″ pieces (about -2 cups) 1 c Reduced chicken broth

1/4 lb Part skim milk ricotta

-cheese 2 tb Chopped fresh parsley

Pasta of your choice In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil with the garlic, onion, and caraway seeds, over moderate heat. As soon as they sizzle, add the brocolli and saute, stirring continuously, until it turns dark green, about 1 minute. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the broccoli is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Dot the sauce with the ricotta and, as soon as it begins to melt, spoon over cooked pasta. Garnish with parsley. Note 1: to make reduced chicken broth, briskly boil 2 cups of the canned broth of your choice until it evaporates down to 1 cup. Note 2: For an even lighter version, you can substitute hoop cheese for the ricotta.
