Anyone have a killer spaghetti recipe they'd like to share?

Good point

It needs pork and beef. be creative and figure out what you like from there.

1 Large can of whole pealed tomatoes (I mean Sam's Club size) in tomato juice
4 4oz cans tomato paste

Take 2-4 tomatoes at a time, puree in a blender for a few pulses.  I like a chunky sauce, but blend to your desire.
Do this to all the tomatoes.
Put into LARGE stock pot (NOT aluminum, it can react with the acid in the tomatoes.)
Put in tomato paste.
Put in some of the remainder of the tomato juice to get it to your desired consistency.

1 heaping Tablespoon Oregano (dried)
1 heaping Tablespoon Parsley flakes (dried)
1 heaping Tablespoon Basil (dried)
1 heaping Tablespoon Red Pepper flakes.
5 Bay Leaves.
Salt, Pepper (to taste)
Sugar to taste (Depends on the tomatoes really)

Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, cover.  Simmer for 4+ hours.

OPTIONAL but BETTER!

Add in 1 pork bone (NOT neck, it will disintegrate and you will have chunks of small bones in sauce)
Add in 2 packages of HOT italian sausage, cooked.  ( fry in a skillet, and cut on the bias)
Add in 1 lb of meat balls:
1 lbs of ground whatever :)
1 egg
Salt and Pepper.
some italian bread crumbs (I would say 1/4-1/2 cup)
mix together, form into balls, fry until golden brown.

With the pork bone, sausage and meatballs in the sauce, simmer for a minimum of 8 hours.
You will have to skim some of the fat off the top as it renders out of the sausage.

While waiting to cook, drink a nice red wine and watch the Godfather I and II on DVD.

You can use a smaller can of tomatoes, just half the paste and adjust the spices.

Put into LARGE stock pot (NOT aluminum, it can react with the acid in the tomatoes.)

Avoid cast iron also. Try and stay with stainless steel for a spaghetti sauce.

Noodles and gravy yo!

Or try anodized aluminum!  WAY cheaper than stainless, better heat transfer, and no acid reactivity!

Drop the panties shrimp scampi is pretty good.

If you say "sauce" in S. Phila, an old Italian lady will beat you with her macaroni  roller.
