Meaty Sauce for Pasta
"I like to have meat sauce with spaghetti in the winter. It's one of my favorite comforts of cold weather. You can add any number of things to this sauce to make it your own as well. Sometimes, right at the end, I add a spoonful of mascarpone cheese to make it creamy--or even a little ricotta.
Always use a dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Primitivo, otherwise the sauce will taste sweet."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Amy and I live in CT. I love to cook and try new recipes. My kitchen is my favorite room in my house and where I spend most of my time!
Both my parents were always cooking, mom baked and dad did everything except baking. Some of my recipes come from my grandmother, Nell, but have been updated. The rest fly out of my head in the middle of the night...or are things I have seen in magazines, cookbooks and on TV twisted around to my liking. I find it hard to follow a recipe, but I am trying to do that without changing them all the time.
