You're joking with us, right?

If you really think that they are great than do yourself a favor.

Go and buy a couple of cans of Tuttorusso crushed tomatoes with basil in it. Slice up a couple of cloves of fresh garlic. slice and dice a half an onion. Make sure that it is diced very fine. Get a 1/2 pound of sirloin chopped meat.

Warm up a sauce pan on a med flame and then coat the bottom with about a 1/4 inch of extra virgin olive oil. When olive oil is warm to hot, throw in your fresh garlic and onions. Add in some parsely, oregano and basil. Stir until the onions and garlic are begining to brown and then add in your chop meat.

Stir chopmeat combining with other ingredients until chop meat is brown. Now add in the two cans of Tuttorusso sauce and stir. Add a little more orageno, some more parsely, basil, a touch of sugar, and some fresh grated cheese to the sauce and stir. Bring the flame down to low, use a pot cover and cover only half the pot with it. Let cook for a couple of hours on low, stirring and tasting occassionally and season accordingly to your taste.

Get yourself some spaghetti. Bring the appropriate amount of water to a boil, add salt and then add your Pasta. Stir the pasta so that the salt gets around and prevents the pasta from sticking together. Cook pasta to desired tenderness, usually 8 - 10 minutes.

Drain you pasta in a collander, then place pasta in a large pasta bowl and add your meat sauce mixing it in with the pasta.


Now you have a REAL ITALIAN dish, not that shit, fake, spaghetti O / beef-a-roni / hamburger helper junk.

Of course you can do this with Angel hair Pasta, Elbow macaroni, Ziti, or whatever pasta you enjoy. I just suggested using Spaghetti to give you the affect of a spaghetti o (just typing the word spaghetti O makes me want to puke) type dish.


And Geoff, you being from an Italian family and all, you should be ashamed of yourself for desicrating the Italian culture by eating that shit! Next time we get together for dinner, you will NOT be allowed to eat in an Italian restaurant with us. NO MORE REAL ITALIAN FOOD FOR YOUUUUU!

You can go down the block to Pizza Hut and then meet us for drinks after dinner! \:p ;\)
