  • Frank shows you how to make a meal your sweetheart will always remember! "Sunday Sauce" - Ragu Napolitano with Italian Sausage and Pasta.
    Also see the recipe on our website here: isernio.com/Rec...
    Time to prep: 30 minutes
    Time to cook: 3 hours
    Serves: 6-8 as a main course
    SHOPPING LIST:
    8 Isernio's Italian Sausages (hot, mild or combined)
    3 lbs. beef short ribs or pork ribs
    4 Tbsp. olive oil
    1/2 med. onion, peeled and chopped
    3 cloves fresh garlic, finely chopped or pressed
    1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)
    1/2 cup dry red wine
    2-28-oz. cans Italian style plum tomatoes, with juice, squeezed by hand or broken up in skillet with a wooden spoon.
    10 basil leaves, torn
    1 dried bay leaf
    1 lb. Rigatoni pasta or pasta of choice
    Salt & freshly ground pepper
    6-8 tbsp. freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
    Meat Options for sauce: Meat balls, Chicken, Braciole, bone-in Pork Ribs
    LET'S COOK
    Pre-heat oven to 225°. In a large 13 quart pot (cast iron, such as Le Creuset or similar), heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil on medium heat. Salt & pepper ribs on all sides and cook until brown on all sides, set aside. Then brown the sausages on both sides. No need to cook through, the sausages will finish cooking in the sauce. Do this in batches, so you don't crowd the pot. Remove the sausages from the pot and set aside. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil to the pot, add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook until onion is soft, 8-10 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom. Cook until the wine evaporates by half, one minute or two. Add the crushed tomatoes, bay leaf, 3 leaves of torn basil, salt and pepper to taste.
    Return only the ribs to the pot. Bring sauce to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover with lid and place in oven for 1 hour. While the ribs are slow roasting, cover the browned sausages and refrigerate. After 1 hour, add the sausages to the pot and cook with the lid off for the last 2 hours.
    Bring 5 qts. of water to a boil. Add 2 Tbsp. salt to boiling water, add the Rigatoni and cook until al dente -- about 12-14 minutes, or according to the package instructions.
    While the pasta is boiling, remove the meat from the sauce, and place on a large serving platter, cover with foil and keep warm in the oven on very low heat. The sauce should be reduced enough to coat the back of a spoon. If needed, reduce further on medium heat on top of the stove, until thickened. Reserve about 2 cups of sauce for the meat and keep warm.
    Drain the pasta and add to the sauce. Toss the pasta in the sauce to ensure each piece is coated. Add the torn basil and a drizzle of good olive oil off the heat, mix well. Serve immediately with freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese.
    Top the meat with the reserved warm sauce and serve after the pasta course or together if you choose.
    The sauce can be made ahead a day or two, just reheated and serve with freshly boiled pasta.

    I wish I was there to smell this beautiful meal too:) You refer to it as sauce, have you ever referred to it as 'sugo'? That's the only word I knew of when I was growing up in my Sicilian home. Do you ever put a pinch or more of sugar in your sauce? We always did to take the tartness of the tomatoes partially away. This looked wonderful. I love how you show us as you taste your food, many chefs/cooks don't I so enjoy seeing them enjoy/relish there scrumptious food. Also love how you left the bones from the ribs on the plate, always nice to chew on later:)

    Hey Frank, where are the meatballs!? And that's not enough gravy to feed many people.
    Should have added one can of tomatos lol.
    I use the low oven method as well. You don't have to baby sit the pan, stirring every 10 minutes or so. Just set it, and forget it! For a couple hours anyway. Great job!

    OK, it's official! Next Monday is Canadian Thanksgiving. We're having company, and I plan to serve this with a homemade minestrone to start, and some crusty bread. My pasta of choice will be penne. Our guests are bringing the bread along with a salad and dessert. I can't wait!
    You're probably wondering why I'm not serving the traditional turkey etc. My friends are kind of unconventional. Last year, we had Indian; the year before, we had Thai, and the year before that, we had vegetarian lasagne, Caesar salad and tiramisu. My personal default position is Italian. I am not Italian; I am French-Canadian, and my husband is English, with an Irish Gaelic last name. However, we lived next-door to an Italian couple. The gentleman in that couple was an executive chef. I learned how to cook from them, hence my Italianate style of cooking.

    I feel that strained tomatoes are even better because they’ dont contain seeds or skins and they’ve been made into a passata. They’ve also been slightly cooked at the facility which makes him really easy to work with but the problem can tomatoes does it take at least 2 to 3 hours to get rid of all the unnatural acidity.

    @adelefarough5123 4 роки тому

    I'm so embarrassed that I haven't posted about this until now. 2 1/2 years later! How's this for late!
    I did make this for our guests for Canadian Thanksgiving. Next time I make this, I'll skip the minestrone, and make a lighter dessert (zabaglione, maybe).
    I made this with hot Italian sausage, my own meatballs and pork ribs. I used penne pasta. It was absolutely delicious. I will make this again; however, I will buy my ribs at a butcher shop rather than at a supermarket. Also, I will make the whole recipe a day ahead, and I'll cook the pasta on the day. I don't mind doing the work, but I hate having to do it on the day when I am entertaining.
    The tomato sauce was especially good, particularly with the red wine. Recently, I acquired a microplane to grate fresh garlic. I find that I really get lots of flavour out of garlic, and I don't seem to have to use as much. Not that that matters; I don't know what I would do if someone declared onions and garlic illegal!
    There's nothing I like better than a good pasta dish, and this did not disappoint. I will just make a point of getting better meat. I know where I can get it. This recipe is definitely worth it! Five stars!*****
    I just cannot stress enough that the success of your effort when you make this recipe rests completely on the quality of the meat you use. Also, if you can get San Marzano tomatoes, then it's all to the good. I was able to find those tomatoes quite by accident recently, and now, I would use nothing else. They are fabulous!
    I like this recipe so much that I am considering dividing it in half to make it for just the two of us. It does make a lot. I was serving it to a dinner party of four of us. We had leftovers for two days after.

    I followed your recipe to a T, and while mostly everything came out deliciously, the short ribs were not falling off the bone. in fact, they were tough. what could have gone wrong? like I said, I did exactly as you did in the video. FYI, everything else was insanely delicious

    • @IserniosSausage
      @IserniosSausage  7 років тому +3

      Hi there! Two things on the tenderness of the short ribs. First is low temperature second is time. Something else to try: I find short ribs cook even better when cooked in the oven rather than the stove top as I did in the video. The oven allows for wonderful temperature control. No more than 225 degrees works best with the lid on. With the temp right it should take 2-2.5 hours of cook time depending on quantity. The rib braise is very forgiving and difficult to overlook so best to check the ribs by pulling at the bone until it pulls away from the meat. Continue cooking until it reaches this point of tenderness. Best regards, Frank

Or is there enough left? How about adding another can of puree would that be ok?

      jimmy paxson If you had read the options below the video, you would have seen that meatballs and chicken are options that you can use. I have a fabulous recipe for meatballs, and I would add them during the last half hour of cooking. If you want to see the recipe, go to www.canadianliving.com and do a search for pasta with bacon meatballs. The sauce itself doesn't work so I would dispense with that; however, the meatballs are wonderful. They are going to be my go-to Italian meatballs from here on out. I'd have no trouble adding them to a homemade marinara sauce. HTH!😀
