ST. JOSEPH PASTA

from Cucina Classica II

 

1 cup chopped onion

½ cup olive oil

15 ounce can Condimento Completo (available at Italian specialty stores)

2 cups tomato sauce

½ cup water

1 pound Perciatelli Pasta

2 cups fresh bread crumbs

2 tablespoons grated locatelli cheese

Cook the onion in 2 tablespoons of oil until softened.  Add the Condimento, tomato sauce and water.  Bring to a boil.  Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook macaroni according to directions.  In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil; add the bread crumbs and cook stirring just until golden brown.  Transfer to bow and add grated locatelli cheese.  In a large bowl, combine pasta with enough sauce to just cover.  Transfer to an oiled baking dish and sprinkle with some breadcrumb mixture to lightly cover.  Bake for 15 minutes in a 400 degree oven. Serve with remaining sauce and breadcrumbs.  Buon Appetito!

 

(Perciatelli pasta is a long thin hollow macaroni, which looks like thick spaghetti.)
