best spaghetti I have had
I've received so many comments from friends about the following recipe
and how they've never had better spaghetti, that I thought I must publish
it here. A single batch is good for about 6 1-pint servings of the sauce.
I generally make a double batch every 2 months and freeze individual
servings of the sauce in 1-pint containers. Then, for a fast delicious
meal I can simply pop the frozen cube into the microwave at full power
for 4 minutes, and defrost for 8 minutes (stirred frequently). The sauce
is better after having been frozen when the flavors mix. Thick spaghetti
sauce, in my opinion, is much better than the tomatoey stuff you usually
get.

   Ingredients:
       2 lbs. ground sirloin
       3 to 4 ounces slized pepperoni sausage
       1/2 pint fresh sliced mushrooms
       1 medium onion, finely chopped
       1 small clove garlic, crushed
       1 lb 3 oz can whole tomatoes    (or use fresh peeled)
       2-15 oz cans tomato sauce       (or make your own)
       1 6 oz can tomato paste         (or make your own)
       1 teaspoon marjoram
       1   "  "   oregano
       2   "  "   italian herbs
       1   "  "   crushed red pepper (or more to suit taste)
       4   "  "   salt
       1/4 to 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional

   Procedure:
       Heat heavy pan. Cover bottom shallowly with half cooking oil and
       half olive oil. Slowly simmer crushed garlic and chopped onions.
       Do not brown. Add crumbled ground beef and brown. Push all to one
       side and sautee mushrooms. Add herbs and salt. Stir occasionally
       while doing above. Add pepperoni sausage. Add tomato ingredients,
       first the paste (spread out and stir), then canned tomatoes (may
       be sliced in half with a knife after they are in the pan), then
       the tomato sauce. Stir well. Cover. Let come to a simmer and reduce
       heat to very low. Allow to simmer from two to four hours before
       serving. Wine is optional and may be added when tomato ingredients
       are added.

       For the pasta, use coiled Vermicelli, available in stores.
       Very few places, if any, serve this thin pasta and it is absolutely
       perfect for this heavy sauce.</PRE>
