Subscriber Stephanie Huesler sent us this odd little bit of food
humor:
"Waiter, waiter! There's a fly in my soup!"
"Don't worry, sir - that spider on your bread will get him."
Today's "World Wide Vegetarian" recipe is a quick, easy, and
oh-so-good sauce that will probably become a standard in your kitchen.
The ingredients are probably already in your pantry, and no one will
know that you threw this sauce together because you didn't start
cooking until twenty minutes before your favorite television program
begins.
Italian Pasta with Amatrice Sauce
2 Tbs (30 ml) olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup (60 ml) dry white wine (optional)
1 28-oz (794 g) can tomatoes (preferably
Italian plum tomatoes), drained and chopped
1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) chili powder
1 tsp (5 ml) paprika
1 tsp (5 ml) dried basil
1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried oregano
1/4 tsp (1 ml) cinnamon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 lb (450 g) dried pasta, such as penne or
mostacciole, cooked according to package directions
Parmesan cheese, grated
Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat, and saute the
garlic and onion for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the
onion is softened. Add the optional wine, tomatoes, and spices, and
bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.
Ladle the sauce over the cooked pasta and serve with grated Parmesan
cheese. Serves 4 to 6.
