Pam, just wanna let you know that watching your videos has been a wonderful way of making me feel better and reminding me what cooking is all about outside the politics, the money, the likes, etc. Your love for cooking and teaching really shows through.

    I took my Nana's recipe and perfected it. I don't use canned sauce, I use lots of fresh garlic, fresh basil, fresh oregano, black olives, sliced mushrooms, fresh tomatoes peeled or a large can of stewed tomatoes- pureed, a little brown sugar and I use hamburger and ground sausage. After you add your pasta and bring it back to a boil, turn it off and cover with a lid for ten minutes, perfectly al dente everytime. Can't stand my pasta mixed in with my spaghetti, so I put the pasta on the plate, then the sauce on top and garnished with shredded cheese, raw onions (I love onions 🤣) a dollop of sour cream and Red pepper flakes. YUMMY 😋, I'm going to have to make spaghetti for dinner tonight now! 🤣

    Pam, I have a tip for you and your viewers. It is much easier to get the tomato paste out of the can if you open both ends. Then just remove the top and push on the bottom to push the paste right out. You can't use the can to measure the water, but it's so much easier.

    My Mom made the best Sicilian sauce that nobody in the family can duplicate. So I developed my own with traditional Sicilian ingredients. I have several levels of sauce that go from simple no meat "salsa putanesca" to standard beef and tomato with peppers, onion, garlic and spices, to my favorite 4 meat 8 veggie super spiced sauce that costs me almost $20 per quarter to make. It's great to know a lot of recipes.

    I reserve the pasta water and I never rinse my pasta after cooking, unless Im making a cold pasta salad. Package cooking directions can result in mushy pasta--so it's best to start checking for al dente texture at 6 minutes for angel hair /thin pasta, and 8 minutes for spaghetti and others. Bow tie pasta can take even longer. Your dish looks amazing!

    • @CookingAtPamsPlace

    My mother cooked the spaghetti the same way with Ragu sauce, she never mixed the cooked spaghetti into the meat sauce. The meat sauce would be served on the plate on top of the spaghetti. When I got older , I just mixed the spaghetti into the sauce and started using Bertolli onion, garlic and basil pasta sauce. I also added Italian sausage out the casing to the ground Turkey (instead of ground beef, healthier option) . I also include red peppers with green peppers & sweet vidalia onions . Also include diced tomatoes (unsalted) and use pink salt in boiling pasta water too, since I have high blood pressure & my husband. Ground Back in the day , I enjoyed mom’s version. But today I revised the recipe for more flavor and my family enjoys it. Sometimes when I have time on a weekend I will make homemade sauce with large can Crushed tomatoes, small can unsalted tomato sauce , red cooking wine, onion & garlic powder, basil, diced unsalted tomatoes , oregano, Italian seasoning, a little pink salt, pepper, raw sugar (tablespoon) , tomato paste , red / green peppers, vidalia onions , minced garlic , drained browned ground turkey/ Italian sausage added in slow cooker for few hours. It turns out delicious & after slow cooked I add the cooked spaghetti in crockpot and stir together. Comes out delicious, especially next day leftovers! 😊❤️

Helps not clogging your arteries too. I keep the can under my sink until it’s full to throw in the garbage

      I always fix my spaghetti similar to this. I usually use extra lean ground beef (96/4 or 97/3) so no draining necessary. I also typically use tomato sauce and season it appropriately to make my own sauce. I also don't use as much salt due to dietary reasons. But this looks great. And mixing it in advance with the pasta reminds me of my mom's spaghetti that I used to eat with sliced bread. Reminds me of my childhood in the 70s (yes, I'm old lol). 🍝

    Hi Pam. Nice to learn from all your wonderful videos. I especially love your tips. Your method of wrapping lettuce has saved me a lot of money. It’s also wonderful to save seeds from your grocery store vegetables. I watched a video of saving green pepper seeds vs. any colored (ripe) pepper seeds. He demonstrated by planting them in soil that only the colored pepper seeds came up because they are ripe. A green bell pepper won’t germinate because it’s still green. It’s not mature enough. It’s normal ripe color is red and these will germinate but not the green because they are not mature enough to grow. At least that’s what he said and demonstrated on his TH-cam video. So I quit saving the green ones and only save red, yellow, orange or Aloha ones.

    My mama always taught me that one of the main reasons to add salt to pasta water was to add it at the very beginning, because it would help it boil faster! And then oil to keep it from sticking together. She taught me (grandma's recipe) to saute the vegetables first. It's funny how family recipes differ so much. And yet this looks just like what we had. We always rinsed out the cans if water was added, to get every last bit. I'm a vegetarian now, so I just make it with either a bunch of different chopped up veggies, or if I want it like I grew up with, I use veggie burger crumbles. Super nostalgic comfort food.
    We always had ours on Saturday nights, with breadsticks from Stroehman bakery outlet in town. Once in a while for a treat, we'd hav either chunks of sweet or hot italian sausage in place of the ground beef (or alongside it). Then we'd watch TV together. Thanks for this, and for bringing the memories!
    Edit to add: I have British friends, and I've since found out that they have the same thing, but they call it "Spaghetti Bolognase", or "Spag Bol". It's a common food for some for "tea" at 4pm. Just a sauce with a lot of ground meat, just like this.

    Hi Chef Pam, your spaghetti is pretty much the same as the way my mom taught me. You're right. A person should drain their meat and pasta. The meat juice has grease. The pasta has all that salt, and that is not good for people with high blood pressure. My mom has to stop putting salt in the water. No matter what, she did her blood pressure was still high. Eliminating the salt at this step helped a lot.

    I never salt my water and my spaghetti 🍝 is Amazing! Just salt & season your sauce. I add just a bit of canola oil to the boiling water - so that the noodles don't stick together. You are awesome ❤

      I never put oil in my noodles. I put my noodles in cool water and then bring to a boil. They never sit

    My mom added sundried tomatoes and cooked down for 3-4 hours best spaghetti in my world cause it's my mama's! It adds an additional deeper flavor. Love your sunny sweet voice! God bless and Happy Easter ☝️✝️

    Hey Pam! Yes, that does look delicious!! I use the 80/20 hamburger as well. I think it gives the best flavor. And I make my spaghetti the same way. Only difference is I use fresh garlic when I’m browning up my hamburger meat. We love that flavor! Okay, I enjoyed the video. See ya in the next one. Bye!

    Wow Pam your grandmother made it similarly to my recipe I used to use beef but due to my dad that couldn’t have been using ground 3%fat ground turkey and instead of Ragu I just use two tins of Italian diced tomatoes but everything else I use. Xxx

    I too because this recipe the same when I was growing up as a child and I also remember in the school that I went to the cafeteria ladies cooked this recipe I had completely forgot about this spaghetti. Thank you for bringing it back. And congratulations on both your channels!

    This is the exact way I make my spaghetti. Love it with extra meat. It's easy an simple, plus I also break my spaghetti in half. It's easier on the kiddos. So their not choking on a long piece of spaghetti, lol !! Yummy delicious recipe , old school !!😃

  • @alejandrae5605
    @alejandrae5605 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m Italian my friend you can break the noodles as much as you want! Yes…that tomato paste makes the sauce so much richer! That looks so delicious I’m making it for dinner tonight! I love you!!!💕😘

  • @Ms_Jaye
    @Ms_Jaye ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks delicious! Will it still taste like 🍝 without you adding oregano, basil, bay leaf or Italian seasoning? Because the seasoning in Ragu isn't enough.

  • @YippyZippyZingZing
    @YippyZippyZingZing ปีที่แล้ว +15

    LOL - I had a good laugh when you said that this spaghetti was served with fish we had macaroni and cheese. Looks like there were a lot of mamas and papas (and grammas and grandpas) thinking ...we have to stretch this meal.
    Funny, when ever I have fish, I really want some macaroni and cheese.
    Great recipe! I am going to try it this week.

    Didn’t know I was old school.. but I’ve always made my spaghetti this way!! Only exception is I add a little sugar do prevent heart burn from acidity. I like my sauce on top.

    • @jokerpoker2012
      @jokerpoker2012 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you want to get rid of heartburn in your pasta use a teaspoon of baking soda only diffrence is you might be a lil gassy lol.

  • @glengainer3041
    @glengainer3041 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    looks delicious, my mother made hers the same way, and sometimes she would do the meatballs but she would break up some peices of the heal of bread and put it in the meat with the green peppers and onions, then once it's all done, we would sprinkle some Kraft grated parmesan cheese on top, with fried chicken, Now that's some good eating

    • @glengainer3041
      @glengainer3041 ปีที่แล้ว

    @soundjudgement3586 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've used the same ingredients for many years, albeit, I use a variety of spices including Red Peppers. I fry onion and green pepper separate from meat. Only difference I don't add much water. I like my sauce thick. I save bout third of Ragu sauce in jar to use when I heat up spaghetti plate next couple days.

    We made it the same way. But only used pasta sauce. No tomato paste. But that sounds even better and thicker sauce :) Its making me hungry for it! Love your energy

  • @cafdtp
    @cafdtp ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like your style. The first time we had it we had spaghetti and meatballs. The next time we saw it was on Friday with fish as dry spaghetti the way you made it. My mom would break up the meatballs and mix everything together like you did. So that one meal became two. Meat sauce over spaghetti and dry spaghetti with bacon on top. Yum!

  • @Linda-kq8ef
    @Linda-kq8ef ปีที่แล้ว

    We make our like this, will have to try using the water from boiling the spaghetti, that’s a old trick, never heard of it. Thank you for sharing your Great Grand Mothers recipe. ❤

  • @Lala_B

    My fave way to empty a can of tomato paste: Rinse and wipe both ends of the can. Using your can opener, open both ends, detaching the lids all the way. Peel off one lid, flip the can over your pan and push the remaining lid through, extruding the paste as you go. Don’t worry, the paste is too thick to spill or move without your pushing. The insides will be clean and only thing needs scraping is the lid!❤

    I had to laugh because you said spaghetti was a side dish, same for me growing up. Never heard anyone else say that. She also broke the pasta in half. Memories. God bless you professor Chef Pam. Hope that finger is healing nicely.

    You're going places Ms. Pam! 👍🏼🙏🏼💖
    Edit: I didn't know that salt could hurt your pans like that. I guess I always added my salt after I put pasta in, while the water was boiling. There might have been times I added salt to cold water- I just didn't think it made a difference, I think. Now that I know- and "you showed me what to do!" Now I'll do it the right way. ❤️

    Yes my grandmama made it like this all the time, I actually prefer meat sauce than meatballs, it blends in altogether. Love my cast iron too. I always heard tomato sauce and it’s acidity does something to the cast iron, I’m not sure. Is there a way to touch more on that? Thank you for your recipes auntie Pam!

    This is the best! I also leave it with a lid on it for about 20 minutes, so it’s not smoking hot, they sauce gets even thicker❤️
