Ingredients
Copy Ingredients
1 cup red wine, + 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 beef neck bones, baby back ribs or short ribs
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 carrot, minced
10 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
3 (28 ounce) cans
Tuttorosso® Italian Inspirations Peeled Plum Tomatoes in Puree
2 (6 ounce) cans
Tuttorosso® Tomato Paste
1 (28 ounce) can
Tuttorosso® Tomato Sauce
1 quart water
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 pound Italian sausage, cooked and drained or meatballs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 1 cup red wine, oil, beef neck bones, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, salt and black pepper in a roasting pan; stir to coat.
Roast neck bones and vegetable mixture in oven until vegetables are tender, 1 hour. Stir in about 2 tablespoons red wine while scraping any brown bits of food off the bottom of the pan. Roast until vegetable are browned, about 30 minutes.
Pour vegetable mixture into a 16 quart stock pot over medium-low heat; simmer for 30 minutes. Add tomato paste, tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, basil, oregano and parsley; stir well. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces, 4 to 6 hours.
Remove neck bones from sauce; scrape marrow out of bones. Add marrow to sauce and simmer until dissolved, 1 to 2 hours.
Add choice of meat to sauce during the last ½ hour of cooking.
For a smooth sauce, blend in batches until smooth. Add Italian sausage or other meat to sauce after blending.
Option:
Cook one pound of pasta in ½ gallon water, just until al dente, reserve pasta water. After sauce has cooked add to it ¼ cup pasta water and al dente pasta. Cook until pasta is completely cooked. This allows the pasta and sauce to combine their flavors for an exceptional tasting meal.
