TIPPLE AND SNACK
SPAGHETTI PARTY
Allow six ounces of spaghetti to a person.
Boil the spaghetti in salted water until it is
tender. Make the sauce as follows :
Fry two chopped onions (Bermuda) in
some butter or bacon fat. When the onions
are brown, add
1
can of tomatoes, 2 pounds
of ground round steak,
0
a cup of olive oil,
2 tablespoons of sugar, several cloves, a bay
leaf, and salt to taste. Let this simmer for
three hours. When the sauce is done, strain
it through a coarse strainer into which you
have put several cloves of garlic. Using a
wooden spoon, work nearly all the meat
through the strainer. If you like mushrooms
in the spaghetti sauce, skin and slice a pound
of mushrooms, and after the sauce is
strained, return it to the stove, add the mush–
rooms, and let it simmer for ten minutes.
Serve a green salad with the spaghetti, and
red wine, and Parmesan cheese to sprinkle
over the spaghetti.
It
is best to serve the
spaghetti and the sauce separately, and let
the guests help themselves.
