Well if you do, it's good...


I love the combination of Roquefort and pears, not sure how I'd like chocolate flavor with Stilton but it probably wouldn't be the strangest idea I've tried

They have a slightly salty flavour too...

Excellent for dunking!!!!

And again Southdown, thanks for explaining!

It's that slight saltiness that makes them work so well with cheese. Got to be something like stilton but roquefort is close enough, I bet that would work too!

Default anyone like to share a good spaghetti sauce?

No. I am keeping it all to myself. And the size of my behind attests to the fact.


Sometimes, I see these thread titles and get so tickled.

I was being less my serious self, and more my silly self. My spaghetti sauce comes in a jar these days.

When I was younger, and helping my Mother in the kitchen, we made a spaghetti sauce from scratch that was delicious, but I am sure it is much like everyone else's -- canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, pressed garlic, diced fresh onion and bell pepper, ground beef (browned first with the onion and peppers), and then lots of spices to suit your own tastes: oregano, bay leaves, and the like. We would also add fresh mushrooms from time to time.

Take some old bread (hard) and ground it. Cook the ground bread on a pan until it become brown (warning: from brown to burned out is a moment).
Put your roasted-ground-bread, with a lot of extra virgin olive oil, in your spaghetti.

I know that can sound strange but it tastes good.

I always like a little basil, tomato, and oregano if I am to make any spaghetti sauce. Those great things just go together. If I do a meat sauce, I'd like to combine Italian sausage with beef.

My other idea would include mushroom, onion, and garlic. And not always in the conventional form, either.

I`m going to make a homemade batch of sauce next time, but this would be nice to have for a quicky spaghetti dinner.
yankee -- at Trader Joes.

their sauces are fantastic. and not expensive at all.

I used to buy this one sauce that was comparable but twice the price.

all TJ's jarred sauces are fantastic.

hope you have Trader Joes in your area.... took a long time for us to get them, but now we've got a few to choose from in the Chic'burbs.

Hmmm... I never smoked bacon before, it might be a little tough putting in the pipe..

I'll share my spaghetti/pasta sauce, it's called Barrilla and it was on sale last week at Albertson's!
