Haven’t made sauce from scratch in a long time....with all the trimmings...like braciole and meatballs. I use pork but now instead of sausage and make a little spice bag using the sausage spices.

I’m dreaming of homemade spaghetti...it’s been years and years...but I might just do it since I’m retired and bored.

That reminds me. I’ve got to go out and apply some winter fertilizer to my spaghetti trees.

American restaurants offered spaghetti around the end of the 19th century as Spaghetti Italienne (which is believed to have consisted of noodles cooked past al dente and a mild tomato sauce flavored with easily found spices and vegetables such as cloves, bay leaves, and garlic). Decades later, cooks added oregano and basil to many recipes.

After retiring from the Navy, my brother settled in Norfolk (naturally for a sailor I imagine). He'd comment how the natives would cook the heck out of their pasta (no "al Dente" over there!). I remember having spaghetti dinner with him at a Norfolk restaurant, and noticing that the pasta was VERY soft and mushy. My brother joked that one time, he cooked a plate of spaghetti for his local friends more like the way we'd have it growing up in New York (much firmer). His friends commented that while the dish was good, the pasta was "RAW!".

Here’s one major issue for eating spaghetti Italian style if you’re from the USA: eaters will experience shock from the totally different style of sauce the Italians use.

My wife did the same when we were first married 43 years ago.
To her, spaghettis was supposed to be swollen fat and mushy.

She likes it al dente now!......................

The secret to good red gravy: Anchovies. Fry some in some olive oil until they render out before you add everything else. Anchovy paste works as well.

Biden’s brain is the spokes-organ for National Spaghetti Day. “Hey, where the young girls at?”
