Abruzzi Spaghetti Sauce a la Domenico Zurlo
|
This spaghetti sauce, called "all Amatriciana," is named for the town of
Amatrice, not far from Domenico Zurlo's boyhood home. In the Zurlo
household, when Grandpa Zurlo was in town (and not off prospecting for
gold), it was served at least once a week.
1 large white or yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 pound, Prosciutto or Italian ham (pancetta), coarsely chopped
6 medium cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup, olive oil
2 pounds, fresh ripe tomatoes, peeled, quartered and seeded
1 teaspoon, finely ground black pepper
1/2 cup, grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 cup Crinella Sauvignon Blanc
1 1/2 pounds, thick spaghetti or bucatini
10 quarts, water
Salt to taste
|
Salt water and bring to boil, adding spaghetti (bucatini, a thicker,
hollow noodle, is better yet). Add a drop or two of olive oil.
Cook
spaghetti until firm but tender (al dente), drain in colander, and
return to pot, mixing with enough olive oil to coat spaghetti.
While
spaghetti is cooking, brown onion, garlic, and Prosciutto in skillet with
about 1/2 cup of olive oil, until onion is translucent.
Add wine, bring
mixture to a boil, add tomatoes and black pepper, and cook for 6 - 8
minutes over high heat.
When tomatoes have become completely softened,
remove mixture from heat and mix with the spaghetti.
Serve sprinkled with
cheese.
Serves about 6.
Note: Bell peppers (we prefer the yellow or red), roasted, peeled and
diced, may be added to this sauce and it is quite delicious. Two medium
to large peppers should do the trick.
We also were known to add capers (about two heaping tablespoons should do
it) to the mix at the same time that the tomatoes are added.
Enjoy with our
2006 Pinot Noir.
