Kiddie Spaghetti 2
Ingredients :
750 g. of spaghetti
1/4 k. of smoked bacon, sliced into strips 1/4″ wide
1/4 k. of ground lean pork
1/4 k. of jumbo hotdogs, sliced into rings 1/8″ wide
1 tsp. of finely minced garlic
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
3/4 c. of tomato paste
3 c. of beef broth
1/4 c. of sugar
salt and pepper
1/8 c. of olive oil
Cooking procedure :
Half-cook the spaghetti. As soon as the noodles are pliable, strain them and splash with a cup of cold water.
Place the bacon in a skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until brown and the bacon has rendered fat. If you don’t want the bacon fat in your sauce, strain the fat at this point. Drain the bacon in paper towels.
Reheat the skillet and pour in the olive oil. Add the ground pork and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers and bay leaf and cook until the onions are soft. Return the bacon to the skillet. Increase the heat to high and add the sliced hotdogs. Cook, stirring for about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste, beef broth and sugar. Bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. You will need less salt if the beef broth has already been seasoned. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the half-cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss well. Turn off the heat.
At this point I divided the spaghetti into portions–the one we would bring to our get-together and the one we would leave for the kids’ dinner. I placed what we would bring into a sealable container and poured over enough sauce. The portion we were leaving for the kids, I transferred to a platter and poured some sauce all over. The photo was taken 10 minutes later, just before we left the house. The spaghetti we brought to the get-together was reheated in the microwave. It was fully cooked but not soggy. All the excess sauce has been absorbed by the pasta as well.

[...] bacon. It is a combination of two previous kiddie spaghetti recipes (the older recipes are here and here). Perhaps not too friendly for adults who are strictly watching the amount of fat and carbohydrates [...]
