fzxdocPretty simple: 2 lbs ground chuck, 1 lb Italian sausage, 1 large yellow onion - diced (or a mirepoix if you wish), 6 cloves garlic - crushed, 1 bottle of red wine (minus 1 glassful, tee hee), 2 28 ounce cans and 1 14 ounce can of high quality tomatoes (I use Cento San Marzano or our homegrown, which are equally as good), 2 cups of water, Italian seasonings to taste (appox. 3 Tbsp each of dried oregano and basil, 1 Tbsp of dried rosemary, 1 tsp each of KS and smoked cayenne.
Brown the meat (season with S & P & GP), remove with slotted spoon to leave the drippings. Add some olive oil if necessary and saute onions 5-6 minutes then add garlic for another 1 minute. Return meat to the pan, add the wine and reduce down for 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile, dump the tomatoes into a suitable bowl and thoroughly crush them with your hand (a la Marcella Hazan) and don't forget to lick your fingers before rinsing them off, it's delicious!! Add tomatoes and swirl 1 cup of water into each tomato can and dump in the pot. Add the herbs and spices and adjust to taste. Simmer lid off for at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally and adding water or stock as necessary. Serve with favorite pasta. This will easily feed 4 people.
For me, the key to great red sauce is the tomatoes. The tomatoes we grow at home are truly as good as authentic San Marzanos. I think it has a lot to do with the volcanic soil (Mt Shasta vs. Mt Vesuvius) and our relatively close latitudes (41 degrees N vs 40 degrees N). Regardless, great tomatoes make for great sauce! All of the herbs are homegrown as well and I plop a Tbsp or so at a time into the palm of my hand and rub them up to break them down and release the oils (I do not lick my fingers after doing that, but will take a long sniff to gauge the potency). And of course, all of the ingredient measurements are scalable and swaggable!

jlazar a big red like cabernet or Syrah. And as Julia Child said "Never cook with wine you won't drink" That's why I'm always a glass short of a full bottle when cooking. A few bricks shy of a full load most times as well!

I recently re-watched all the Sopranos episodes (that sure took a long time!) and am so hungry for Italian food. I even bought come capicolla (capocollo) before our personal lockdown started back in the first week of March. I still haven't eaten any because it's pretty fatty. I'm thinking of pan frying it and adding it to a pasta and peas dish like a carbonara. Tony Soprano always pronounced capocollo as what sounded to me like "gabbagool".
Anyway, those Soprano Sunday dinners had me drooling. Before the lockdown, I had requested the Sopranos Cookbook from the library, but it came after we decided not to venture out of our home for any unnecessary trips, so I never got to look through it for inspiration.
Thanks, CaptainMike , for your recipe. It sounds delicious.

Capicola??? If you want a real capicola treat, try an Italian sub with a good roll, capicola, ham, hard salami, mortadella, tomato, lettuce, pepperocini, spicy mustard, vinegar, oil, fresh cracked pepper, oregano and some provolone. Fattening, yeah, but sooooooo good. I spent a lot of time up around New York City and in Reading, PA, and I had some excellent Italian subs (hoagies) and some excellent instructions on making them... Off topic, but you said capicola, and the cravings began.

Have you all ever watched My Italian Grandma You Tube videos? I have an elderly (97 year old) Italian friend who says that she talks just like his mother did. Those videos are so much fun.
Here's a link to her Fettucine Alfredo. The series is Buon-A-Petitti on You Tube. I made her braciole recipe, which was wonderful.
