Old Fashioned Meat Sauce For Pasta Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
12 plum tomatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
2 tsp oregano leaves, dry
2 tsp rosemary, dry
1 tsp marjoram leaves, dry
1 tsp sweet basil
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 whole garlic, minced
1 1/2 lb ground beef
2 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup tomato paste
Recipe Preparation
Blanch & peel half the tomatoes. Place in a slow cooker with half of
the olive oil, the marjoram, rosemary, oregano, sugar, salt, sweet
basil and garlic. Slow simmer for 24 to 48 hours or until the tomato
solids are completely reduced. Blanch and peel the remaining
tomatoes, remove the seeds and puree. Add to the slow cooker along
with the tomato paste and continue to cook, very slowly, for another
24 hours. Saute the ground beef and add to the slow cooker along with
the remainder of the olive oil. Continue cooking for at least half a
day. During the last four hours of cooking, add the shredded parmesan
cheese and blend in well. Add the mushrooms 15 minutes or so before
serving. If you are planning meat balls, add them with the cheese and
remove before serving. Serve the sauce over or alongside the pasta.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The argument against low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?

Intrestingly, unlike numerous healthy agents, it is not damaged if it is cooked, but is really increased in efficacy by being cooked.
