Tomato Sauce - Naples Style
- 1/2 lb veal neck bones or 1/2 lb pork neck bones
- 1 lb Italian sausage, sweet and hot mixed
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced thin
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 beef bouillon cubes
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
- Heat olive oil in a large stock pot and brown the bones and Italian sausage.
- Remove meat from the pot.
- Add the celery, carrot, and onion to the pot, and saute until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add wine to vegetables, stirring and scraping up any bits that stick to the bottom of the pot, for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, breaking them up as you add them.
- Return meat/bones to the pot.
- Add boullion cubes.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 1/2 hour.
- Remove the meat, and pass the sauce and vegetables through a mill; (the cheap plastic ones work better than the more expensive ones).
- Return pureed sauce and meat to the pot.
- If you wish to add meatballs while sauce is simmering, you may do so.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for another hour or so.
- Add sauce to cooked pasta in this way: add a large spoonful of sauce to the pasta and stir, so it is barely colored.
- Add some grated parmesan, and stir again.
- Now spoon pasta into individual dishes, and add more sauce and the meat on the side.
- The cheese helps the sauce cling to the pasta.
