1 1/2 pounds of brown rice pasta
6 litres salted water
Tomato Sauce (Salsa di Pomodoro)
2 onions -- minced2 stalks celery -- minced
1 carrot -- mince or shredded
3 cloves garlic -- minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 can crushed tomatoes -- (28 ounces)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 pepper
1 handful fresh basil -- or 1 tablespoon dry
Preheat Oven to 375°F
In a 2 quart casserole with lid, put the vegetables and olive oil. Cover
and Microwave for 15 minutes. Add the tomatoes, add salt, pepper, oregano
and stir well.
Put in the oven for about 30 minutes uncovered, stir and turn down oven to
325°F cover and let simmer in oven for 1 hour. Check if the sauce is the
thickness you want remove, if it is still to thin uncover and let cook for
another 30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking add the basil leaves.
Cheese Meatballs (Formaggio Polpette)
1/2 cup bisquick® baking mix -- Gluten Free or Gluten Free buscuit Mix1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 small onion -- finely minced
3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese -- shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese -- finely shredded
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large egg
1 pound ground beef, lean
Heat oven to 350°F
In medium bowl biscuit mix, both cheeses garlic powder salt and pepper rub
the dry ingredients together to break up the Mozzarella Cheese into
smaller bits. In a different bowl beat eggs slightly, combine evenly with
the ground beef the combine dry ingredients until it is evenly mixed.
Shape meat mixture into 1-inch balls (if meatballs get to stick wet your
hands) and bake on cookie sheet or sheet pan for 20 to 25 minutes.
Meatballs should be golden brown when done.
Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a rolling boil; add the pasta and stir
gently to separate the pasta (do not stir vigorously, as rice pasta is
much more delicate than wheat pasta), let boil uncovered for 10 minutes.
You may want to loosen sauce with a little of the hot pasta water
When cooked, drain in a colander; place in serving dish.
Put meat balls in a serving dish and pour 1/3 of you tomato sauce over.
Serve pasta with the tomato sauce, meat balls and plenty of Parmesan
cheese.
NOTES : It is much better if you can make it one day and let it mellow at least over night to serve on your pasta the following day. I like to pop it in the oven with another casserole or roast to save energy.
