Papas Favorite Pasta Sauce Recipes

PAPA'S FAVORITE PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Wash, cut up pieces of chicken; pat dry with paper towel.
• Season with 1 tsp.
• salt; set aside.
• In a large saucepan, heat oil and saute onions and garlic.
• Add chicken pieces skin-side down and brown lightly.
• Add the sweet peppers, tomato puree, basil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper flakes.
• Cover and simmer over low- medium heat on the stovetop for 1-1/2 hour.
• Note: Usually, tomato puree suggests adding a can of water.
• In this recipe, the water comes from the cooking peppers and chicken which dilutes the puree without additional liquid.
• However, if sauce becomes too thick during cooking, add 1/2 can of water (or wine) a little at a time until its consistency is to your liking.

PAPA'S PASTA SAUCE (GREAT ON SPAGHETTI, ZITI, OH YEAH RIGATONI!)

Steps:

• Sauteed garlic in olive oil until golden brown, add onion and cook until translucent.
• Add remaining ingredients and cook until it cooks down about an inch. About two hours.
• My dad would add italian sausage and spare ribs and cook it for a couple hours. I like it without meat.
• Serve over hot cooked pasta.
