This is my Principessa, Kayla, who grew up on Poppi's Sketti... When I went to visit Sunday, I went empty-handed and was ordered to make Sketti... So I thought I'd share the recipe... With photos...
Ingredients:
2 lbs. Italian Sweet sausage
1 Bell Pepper (3 lobes- best for cooking)
1 Medium Onion
4 Cloves Garlic
Oregano
Basil
Sugar
1-2 Cups Red Wine (I use a Merlot or Cabernet... Remember, if it isn't fit to drink- it isn't fit to cook with)
Directions:
Brown Meat
Chop Peppers, Onions and Mince Garlic
Add To Meat and Stir
Add Basil and Oregano (Make sure to rub between palms to release oils) I never measure so...
This much of each
Add Tomatoes and Paste
Then add wine to thin to desired thickness. Simmer on the lowest heat (I only use gas stoves) for approx 2 hrs, stirring every 20-30 mins to prevent sticking. After 2 hrs add sugar (this takes the acidity out of the Tomatoes)
As you can see, I only use raw sugar (No GMO's) White sugar is poison- but, if you like cancer... Cook for 1 more hour and- VOILA
Buon Appetito
