Farfalle Pasta with Hearty Meat Sauce How do you make a thick, creamy, hearty, Italian meat sauce? Today, I will be using heavy cream as an ingredient in my sauce. That's right, adding dairy to your tomato base sauce adds a creamier texture and an enhanced richness of flavor, and it also creates a thicker, desirable quality meat sauce. The Italian sauce I am preparing today will have Italian spices, but it will also be southernized slightly because the sauce will include two pounds of lean ground beef and one pound of Italian sausage. The end result is thick, creamy, and hearty. Creamy yet hearty Italian meat sauce Ingredients:  2 pounds of lean ground beef 1 pound of Italian sausage 1 teaspoon of seasoning salt 1 cup of heavy cream, milk can also be used 48-ounces of tomato sauce, or canned pasta sauce 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning 1 large onion, diced 4-6 cloves of garlic, minced ½ teaspoon of oregano ½ teaspoon of basil ½ teaspoon of celery flakes 1 tablespoon of olive oil, o...

Baked Spaghetti  The one thing, well, one of the things that I love about this recipe is that I can do all the preparation for it in advance and then pop it in the oven to bake later on. For example, you can do all the prep work the night before and have the spaghetti bake all ready to place in the oven the following day. Believe me, it's so much better than frozen tv dinners.  I cook a humongous pot of spaghetti at least once a week. It makes lazy evenings happen for at least 3-4 meals during the week. Umm, spaghetti leftovers! Just heat the leftovers and serve! Or you can make a completely different meal with the spaghetti leftovers. Tonight I am preparing 16 ounces of dry spaghetti. When it's cooked it will be transformed into a saucy, gooey, cheesy, meaty meal. Tomorrow the leftovers will make a delicious spaghetti pie; then the following day spaghetti sandwiches, and so on. So, what do I serve with the various spaghetti dishes that I prepare? Usually, I make h...
