Also what size cans of diced tomatoes did you use two 14oz cans or two 28oz cans. HEALTHY DASH of FENNEL, is that fennel seeds or ground fennel?

Someone of Italian decent states unequivocally that simmering your bolognese sauce for a long time DOES NOT make the tomatoes bitter, it makes the sauce better! Thank you.

I'm selfish that way. Out of habit, I've already checked your blog today. I'll definitely be making your cabbage rolls. Your recipes are always easy for me to follow. We Italians and Greeks aren't so far apart! :-)<BR/><BR/>Duckie: It's definitely comforting!<BR/><BR/>Aggie: Come on over any time!<BR/><BR/>Cheryl: When meat is involved, I always cook at least 2 hours. For tomato sauce, sometimes it's only two minutes!<BR/><BR/>Katherine: Thanks! It tastes as good as it looks.<BR/><BR/>Pam: It's really good!<BR/><BR/>Mari: Thanks! It's a keeper in my kitchen!<BR/><BR/>Bridgett: Yeah! A fellow Southern Italian girl. I knew I liked you!<BR/><BR/>Bellini Valli: I really do enjoy my canned tomatoes!<BR/><BR/>Noble Pig: Thanks! I love my pasta!<BR/><BR/>Marjie: Ha! Your hubby is a hoot! I love the phrase noodle night! I sometimes leave out the pepper; in fact, I think about you whenever I see a recipe that calls for one and wonder to myself if it really needs it. This sauce doesn't. Regarding the mozz cheese, the only time I've seen that is on top of baked mostaccioli. I prefer pecorino myself.<BR/><BR/>Chef Bliss: Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Lynda: Your welcome!<BR/><BR/>Grace: I've been known to eat reheated leftover pasta for breakfast!<BR/><BR/>Cathy: Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Not trying: It was a fun commercial!<BR/><BR/>Ohio Mom: I gobbled down that bite as soon as I took the picture!<BR/><BR/>Robynn: I totally agree about how helpful all the great food blogs are!

Friday night is pasta night here in my little corner of the world. I created what seemed to me to be a reasonable sauce, and my dearly beloved likes it (he grew up in New Haven, and likes to claim to be Italian - you know his name, so you assess the claim). I saute 2 pounds of ground beef, use pretty much the same ingredients as you, minus the peppers, which I can't eat, and I don't make meatballs. Everyone likes what my oldest son, at the age of 3, dubbed "Noodle Night". My daughter's friend recently told me that her Italian family (off the boat via Brooklyn) puts shredded mozzarella on top of their pasta. What do you think?Marjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950085029835332900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109731257089575246.post-8237932874819659212009-02-27T10:23:00.000-08:002009-02-27T10:23:00.000-08:00You are so hilarious with your title.
