Italian Braised Meatballs with Fettuccini

Thank you for watching the Delicious by Design pilot episode. Here are the written recipes as promised.

Red Sauce

2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1 yellow onion

2 cloves garlic

1 Cup Red Wine

2 Cups Chicken Broth

2 (29oz) Cans ground or Crushed Tomatoes

2 Tbsp Butter

1 Tbsp Tomato Paste

2 Tbsp Granulated Garlic

2 Tbsp Granulated Onion

2 Tb Parsley

1 Tsp Oregano

1 Tsp. sugar

Salt and Pepper

Instructions

Dice onion, peel and chop garlic, and set aside.
Heat sauce pot on medium. Add olive oil to hot pan and then add onions. Stir regularly. Once the onions are nearly cooked (soft and translucent), add garlic and season with 1/2 your dry seasonings. It’s important to start with 1/2 the amount of seasonings and taste throughout cooking so you can add and adjust as you go.
Add Red wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze.
Add broth, tomatoes, sugar, and butter and stir until it is well incorporated.
Taste and add remaining seasonings a little at a time until you get the desired taste.
Simmer on med/low heat for 30 minutes.
Add meatballs for an extra 30minutes to get a rich sauce or cook for 1 hr total without meat for a lighter marinara.
