'Lemon Sauce': Northern Italian cooking

Can of whole peeled tomatoes

Small can of tomato paste

Lots of garlic, 3/4 head or more

Lots of olive oil, cover the bottom of heavy pan plus a bit more

Heat olive oil till just before smoke, fry chopped garlic till just turning brown, happens fast, add tomatoes & paste, cut tomatoes up right in pan, stir, cover and simmer 20 min., can thin with ladle of pasta water if desired.

Try just like this before cooking another batch with spices, onions, mushrooms etc., has a great refreshing lemon flavor. Good over your choice of pasta. I like regular spaghetti. Mmmmmmm good

Hope you enjoy!

Better Than Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce

5 tablespoons sweet butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese

1. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium/low heat.
2. Add the garlic, cream, white pepper and bring mixture to a simmer.
3. Stir often.
4. Add the Parmesan cheese and simmer sauce for 8-10 minutes or until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
5. When sauce has thickened add the Mozzarella cheese and stir until smooth. STIR FREQUENTLY.

This is unbelievably easy and good. On Christmas Eve, I mixed this sauce with cooked rigatoni and added some sauteed mushrooms. I poured it in a 9x13 baking dish and baked for a half hour or so. It was the most popular dish on the buffet table.

Beef Stroganoff

1 large round steak cut up into thin, bite sized pieces
1/4 cup flour with some salt & pepper sprinkled in
1 stick of butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 onion, roughly chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cans of beef bullion (double strength)
1 cup sour cream

Melt butter in large skillet. Coat steak strips in flour, salt & pepper mixture. Brown steak in skillet (stir well after browning to loosen up the drippings). Add mushrooms, garlic & onion and simmer about 5-10 minutes, stirring well. Stir in cans of beef broth. Cover and simmer on low for about an hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Just before serving, stir in sour cream and hear for about 10-15 minutes. Serve over buttered noodles.

A good side with this is french cut green beans with slivered almonds. Get some good crusty french bread and a nice cabernet. Serves 4.
