  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

Directions

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place 1 cup red wine, oil, beef neck bones, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, salt and black pepper in a roasting pan; stir to coat.
  3. Roast neck bones and vegetable mixture in oven until vegetables are tender, 1 hour. Stir in about 2 tablespoons red wine while scraping any brown bits of food off the bottom of the pan. Roast until vegetable are browned, about 30 minutes.
  4. Pour vegetable mixture into a 16 quart stock pot over medium-low heat; simmer for 30 minutes. Add REDPACK® TOMATO PASTE, REDPACK® WHOLE PEELED TOMATOES in JUICE, REDPACK® TOMATO SAUCE, water, basil, oregano and parsley; stir well. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces, 4 to 6 hours.
  5. Remove neck bones from sauce; scrape marrow out of bones. Add marrow to sauce and simmer until dissolved, 1 to 2 hours.
  6. Add choice of meat to sauce during the last ½ hour of cooking.
  7. For a smooth sauce, blend in batches until smooth. Add Italian sausage or other meat to sauce after blending.
  8. Option: Cook pasta, a pound of pasta in ½ gallon water, just until al dente. After sauce has cooked add ¼ cup pasta water and al dente pasta. Cook until pasta is completely cooked. This allows the pasta and sauce to combine their flavors for an exceptional tasting meal.
