The
addition of coffee gives this otherwise routine pasta dish
a hearty twist for a cool autumn night. Eliminate the
ground beef to make a meatless version. Add some crusty
bread, a salad, and a light dessert and you've got
yourself a satisfying meal.
Spaghetti
al Caffe
1
lb. of lean ground beef
3 medium onions, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic chopped up fine (more if you like it
garlic!)
7 ounces of peeled chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup of tomato sauce
3/4 cup of strong brewed Peace Coffee
1 cup chopped mushrooms (of your choice)
2 spoonfuls of olive oil
1 pinch of sugar
salt, pepper, oregano to taste.
8 - 9 ounces of dry spaghetti
grated Parmesan cheese
Brown
the onions and garlic in olive oil, add the ground beef
and let it color. Then add the chopped tomatoes and
mushrooms, the tomato sauce and the coffee. Let it simmer
for 30 minutes, adding a little water if necessary. Add
the oregano. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, then add
salt and pepper. Separately, cook the spaghetti in salted
boiling water for 7 minutes. Finally pour the sauce on to
the well-drained spaghetti, and sprinkle with grated
Parmesan cheese. Serves 4.
