I am letting my sketti sauce simmer all day!

[Shell Beau]

Mmmmmm!! Tonight's spaghetti will be off the hook! :9

[femmocrat]

1. I have a corned beef brisket in the slow-cooker.

Yummm, it smells so good!

Bon apetit!

[Shell Beau]

2. Mmm! Sounds yummy!

:9

[Heidi]

3. Oh my gosh! How much are you makin', gf?

Even at the lowest temp (I have an electric stove), if I let it simmer more than three hours, it'd become firm! :rofl:

I lovelovelove homemade spaghetti sauce -- haven't purchased prepared spaghetti sauce in a decade. YUM!

[Shell Beau]

6. My husband will only eat homemade spaghetti.

I am making enough so we can eat this for supper tomorrow night!! So yummy! :9 I will save you some. ;)

[Arugula Latte]

4. Sounds good!

It's funny, because long-simmered sauce is good, but I also love me fresh sketti sauce. Just chop some tomatoes, onions & peppers, throw in some black pepper, capers and fresh basil, cook sparingly for a few minutes, and you're done, and it's deeeelicious. :9

[Shell Beau]

10. If I cook spaghetti during the week, that is how I will do it.

But today I can really put the love into it! :)

5. I've come to the conclusion that simmering doesn't improve the flavor as much as...

Chilling it in the refrigerator overnight and reheating it the next day. I don't know why, but it always tastes better the second time around. :shrug:

7. the flavorz

they be blendin


and agreed, simmering all day just doesn't sound like a good idea

[Shell Beau]

9. That must be because you have never had mine!

Mmmm!

[Shell Beau]

8. Pasta is always better the next day!

When I simmer mine, it does make a difference. Not a huge difference, but you can tell. Those onions, bell peppers, and garlic really get to absorb the sauce. And the meat too.

[Brother Buzz]

11. Agreed, pasta dishes always taste better the next day

including spaghetti when we combine the leftover spaghetti and sauce in the same casserole dish and refrigerate it for later. It's a real treat to bake it with some cheese on top to create the magical bubbling crust.

[Shell Beau]

12. I do a baked spaghetti sometimes! It is yummy too!

I am letting my sauce simmer in the crockpot. My eye on my stove gets too hot to let it simmer on low all day.

[tigereye]

14. I have heard that really good old school Italian restaurants simmer for a day or

more....



sounds good Shell! Cute pic of Bella!

[AlCzervik]

13. i don't let it simmer all day anymore either.

i made sauce one day and then i had an emergency so i had to take it off the heat and put in the fridge, i found it was just as good minus be babysitting it for 8 hours.

[Shell Beau]

17. I only let it simmer all day if I have the time.

And I do it in a crockpot, so the babysitting is minimum! I wouldn't do it on a stove top. Mine gets too hot anyway.

[kedrys]

15. How weird - us too!

Started with sauteeing the shrooms with garlic and a tad bit of basil. You? :hi:

[Shell Beau]

16. I sautee shrooms, garlic, onions and bell pepper!!

So yummy! I didn't use to use bell pepper, but I found that it only adds to the flavor. I am always trying to enhance it. But now, it is perfecto! No more adding.

[Flaxbee]

20. Red bell pepper? Green?

Can you share your secret sauce recipe, or is it a family heirloom?

And I love it day two or three as baked spaghetti. Delicious!

[Lethe]

18. sounds good!

makes me want to break out the ole stock pot and do a round of sketti sauce

[blaze]

19. I love all day sauce cooking!!

Ever sear a pork chop and throw it into the mix? Tastiest pork chop ever!

There's something about the stirring and sampling and stirring and sampling that I just love.

[BikeWriter]

21. Mmm, I just thought I loved your cooking before now, Sweetums! :)

22. My neighbor used to run a restaurant. He claims that if a spaghetti

sauce gets bitter, it can be saved by adding black olive juice. It might be worth a try should this happen to you.
