Recipes of the Stars -- Frank Sinatra's Spaghetti Sauce

Yep, this will only add fuel to the fire to get Dean Martin's pasta recipe from Wayne Newton. I found online the recipe for Frank Sinatra's Spaghetti sauce.

It gets rave reviews from folks who have made it, and comes from a book entitled "Another Taste of Palm Springs"

Frank Sinatra's Tomato Spaghetti Sauce Recipe

Frank says that this goes well with hot French bread and Italian red wine. (And of course Dean Martin's pasta.)

30 min 15 min prep
SERVES 6
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 onion, sliced into very thin crescent wedges
1 (1 lb) can tomato, peeled
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon basil
1 pinch oregano
parsley
4 garlic cloves
1 lb spaghetti
parmesan cheese, grated, can use Romano

In a frying pan heat olive oil; add onion and the garlic. Saute until brown and remove the garlic.

Put the canned tomatoes and the liquid from the can in a blender and mix gently, less than a minute.

Slowly pour the tomatoes into the frying pan. Be very careful because the liquid on the oil has a tendency to explode. Let this simmer for about 15 minutes. Add the seasoning, stirring well.

In the meantime, put 3 tablespoons of salt into a 4 quart pot of water and bring to a boil. When the sauce is almost ready, put the spaghetti into the boiling water. Stir occasionally and when the spaghetti is almost done, pour in a colander and immediately transfer to a heated platter.

Pour the sauce over the the pasta and mix a little with 2 forks. Sprinkle with some chopped parsley and serve. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired, on top.

It's cholesterol free, fairly low in fat and calories. Most spaghetti sauce is pretty healthy, but this one comes with a stamp of approval from the Chairman of the Board.

Open a bottle of red, fire up the stove, and put on "Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely" -- it just doesn't get any better than that.
