How to Make Rachael Ray's Sunday Gravy And Macaroni Spaghetti Really
- Boil water for pasta; add salt and cook 1 pound spaghetti to al dente (7-8 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Season 2 boneless pork chops (about 1 lb total) with salt and pepper.
- Quarter 1 lb Italian sausages.
- Heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Brown pork chops for 2 minutes per side; remove and set aside.
- Add 2 more tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Brown sausages for 2 minutes per side; remove and set aside with the pork.
- Add 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté 1 minute, being careful not to burn the pepper flakes.
- Pour in 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 6 ounces tomato paste, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon dried basil. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the pork and sausages to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare meatballs: Combine 1 lb ground beef, 1 egg, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Roll into 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
- Place meatballs on a non-stick baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Add baked meatballs to the simmering sauce. Turn off the oven.
- To serve: Divide the pork, sausages, and meatballs among serving dishes.
