Alright, let’s talk about this pasta with marinara sauce and two meatballs. You know, the kind that fills your belly and makes you feel good all over? Yeah, that’s the one.
First off, you gotta get yourself some good pasta. Don’t go buyin’ that fancy stuff, just the regular kind, you know? Spaghetti, penne, whatever you like. Me? I like the penne, feels good in the mouth, you know? Cook it up till it’s soft, not too hard, not too mushy, just right.
Now, the sauce. That marinara sauce, it’s gotta be somethin’ special. Some folks, they buy it in a jar. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that, I guess, if you’re in a hurry. But if you got the time, makin’ your own is the way to go. It ain’t hard, trust me.
- You get yourself some tomatoes. Good, ripe ones. Smash ’em up good.
- Then some garlic. Lots of garlic. Can’t have too much garlic, that’s what I always say. Chop it up fine, real fine.
- And onions, too. Chop them up too. Not too big, not too small.
- A little bit of sugar. Yeah, sugar. Makes it sweet, you know? Just a pinch.
- And some herbs. Basil, oregano, whatever you got. Fresh is best, but dried is fine too.
Put it all in a pot, simmer it slow, real slow. Let it cook for a good long while, till it gets thick and tasty. That’s the secret, you know? Low and slow. That’s how you get the flavor.
Now, the meatballs. Ah, the meatballs. Gotta have meatballs. Two is good, but you can have more if you’re hungry. Get yourself some ground meat, beef, pork, whatever you like. Mix it up with some breadcrumbs, eggs, and spices. Roll it into balls, not too big, not too small.
Fry them up in a pan, till they’re brown all over. Then, toss them in the sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for a while, so they soak up all that good flavor. Marinara sauce with meatballs, that’s what I’m talking about.
When the pasta’s done, drain it good. Don’t want no watery pasta. Put it in a bowl, pour the sauce over it, and add the meatballs. And don’t forget the cheese! Parmesan cheese, grated fine. Sprinkle it all over the top.
That’s it. Simple, right? But oh so good. This pasta marinara, it’s the kind of food that makes you feel good inside and out. It is good for your Italian dinner. It’s the kind of food you share with your family, with your friends. It’s the kind of food that brings people together.
Some folks, they add all sorts of fancy things to their pasta. Capers, they call ’em. And other things I can’t even pronounce. But me? I like to keep it simple. Pasta, sauce, meatballs. That’s all you need. And maybe some fresh basil on top, if you’re feeling fancy. But that’s just for show, you know? The real flavor is in the sauce and the meatballs.
And let me tell you, this ain’t just some fancy recipe I found in a book. This is the way my mama made it, and her mama before her. It’s good, honest food. The kind of food that sticks to your ribs. The kind of food that makes you feel like you’re home, no matter where you are.
