    My grandmother, who lived through the Depression, told me that people back then didn’t really know how to cook pasta as Italian food was new to Canadians, so they would overcook it. We all grew up in the 70’s with mushy spaghetti but we loved it. My sister and I would slurp it so the tails would hit our cheek, leaving a red sauce trail, which we thought was hilarious. Later, after our mom passed, we would make sauce out of the ubiquitous tomato juice everyone had in their cupboard, by boiling it down a little, then adding cheddar cheese as that is all we had. Now I realize we should have just cooked the spaghetti in the juice.

    • @mygetawayart
      @mygetawayart Před 3 lety +4

      We in Italy always make fun of americans overcooking pasta, it's way quicker and more delicious to keep it al dente. It doesn't fall apart, it has a firm texture to it and it takes only a few minutes (even less than it says on the box). It's really all about your own taste, check it (eat a strain) a few minutes after you've thrown it in the boiling water and once it's chewy, firm but soft enough to eat take it off and drain it, there's really no exact measure behind it, it's just your taste that can say when it's ready.

    My inspiration to start cooking pasta dishes this way was that paragon of culinary excellence: Hamburger Helper.

      Possibly, but not necessarily.. the (US) economy was rebounding somewhat by 1936. I would suggest that it's meant to be rather a vegetarian recipe. I have a few cookbooks from the era that do include several vegetarian dishes. In fact I made a bean and cheese loaf from my American Woman's cookbook, and, .. it was horrible.

    As someone who used to cook a great deal, but is now disabled and can't spend much time doing most tasks in the kitchen any more, I try to do a lot of simplified/one-pot dishes. Spaghetti is one. I see absolutely no reason not to cook pasta in the meat/sauce you're making. Really don't understand why some folk object so strongly.

      I might just be weird but personally I like to eat a few bites of plain no-sauce pasta between ones with sauce on it. Also lets me reuse leftover pasta with different sauces, like if I made a big pot of curry but didn't make enough rice to have leftovers to go with it or already reused the rice a different way I can throw the curry on pasta.

    I grew up on something close to this, and was shocked the first time traditional Spaghetti was put in front of me.
    *My mom's recipe:*
    A package of bacon cut into chunks, cooked about half way before adding a whole onion cut into medium pieces. When bacon is almost cooked (but not crispy), she drained the grease and added a large can of tomato juice. Salt & pepper added, and simmered until thick.
    Served over the top of well buttered pasta _(she's 100% Danish, so butter was on everything)_ with a can of Kraft Parmesan cheese on the table. _(and of course more butter)_
    _Even though my 'three day' traditional sauce (Sunday gravy) recipe with homemade pasta is the best traditional Spaghetti most people say they've ever had, I still make mom's spaghetti every so often._

    Quick, fast, inexpensive and used "high end" sauce to show off for company. Seriously, it was 1936! Perfect! Make Macaroni Mickie Moussse one time (BH&G 2/1934 issue). It is a another '30s era hoot. Thank you for sharing. You are so right too, it was a hack! My Italian truck farm family stock had twelve kids that lived. They HAD to know how to make inexpensive but decent, fast pasta.Pork, tomato, onion, pepper, etc. are all part of the mix. Your recipe is so close to one of them we still make today but.....not quite. You probably know but if not; most working Italian family kitchens had a pot of some tomato base stock on the back of the stove, day or night. You used it to make or start just about everything. Minestrone soup, Sunday pasta after Mass, holiday lasagna, daily tomato pie (pizza). Even if it was just a slice of bread, dip it in the sauce, sprinkle some Romano or mozzarella on it and head off to school. My grandfather said it could vary it taste. Garlic, pepper, beef, meat, mix. Basically pizza sauce before pizza was "Pizza". After WW2 when pizza came to North America he laughed that it was just a bigger version of the stuff made out of the pot on the back of the stove.

    I've been cooking pasta in one pot since the 1970"s while at University and only had one table top cooking element and one pot to cook with. Created a lot cooking shortcuts at the. Many I've carried over to this day.

    This would be a great "Thursday after work" dinner. I've done something like this with mac' n cheese, ground, well, meat and bacon bits.

    My grandma started making a meal called "rodeo spaghetti" in the 60's. She made it for rodeo potlucks. Tomato, good butcher shop bacon, onions, stewed tomatoes. That's it. Soo good. Really similar, but the noodles were cooked separately

    I love one pot pastas! They are quick and easy to make. Estimating the water amount is probably the trickiest part, better to add less initial and check the pot every few mins. The pasta might be too soft for the "al dente" crowd, but it soaks up so much flavour while it cooks.

    As a 4th or 5th generation Italian family Pasta with tomato sauce and bacon was a family staple growing up.
    I can only imagine it was impossible for my 3 x great grandparents to find many/any authentic ingredients here in the industrial North east of England in the early 1900's. Therefore our family version is any pasta, sauce made from tomato paste/puree (thickness of single cream), bacon and seasoned with garlic salt.

    I once had a craving for a dessert and didn't have much on hand so I cooked a serving of spaghetti and put brown sugar and cinnamon on it. It made a passable dish, after all pasta is basically bread.

    Hi from Hervey Bay (Down-under).This is not all that far from the "traditional" process, only the order has been changed. That is providing we can ignore the Lea & Perrins, in any quantity at all, and replace it with one of its major constituents - adding 2 or 3 anchovy fillets after the bacon has been browned. Advantages - this 1936 method avoids the need to save some of the pasta water to thicken the sauce, as the starch is already in there, it also saves the final step of tossing the pasta in the sauce to allow it to absorb the flavours of the sauce and finish the cooking process. All in all I think you are correct, this was probably the earliest or "original method" and the so called "traditional method" was a development to satisfy the of needs of restaurants (over family kitchens) to enable them to provide a variety of pasta dishes for small numbers of diners, requiring a wide range of different pastas and sauces.

    Ah, now I see what to do with that spaghetti that's sat in the cupboard since start of lockdown. With minimal effort.

    Cooked spaghetti, farmer's cheese (cottage cheese in a pinch), sour cream (western creamery if you can get it - you won't regret it) and sugar. Proportions are up to you. Be generous. Some like the pasta hot, some cold. All up to you. While some call it a desert, its very filling and we often have it as the main part of the meal. The recipe came with both of our parents (me and my wife) from Hungary.

    I did this as a matter of necessity back in the 1960's when we moved into a house with no stove. I made it in an electric skillet.

    Hey Glen...My mom made a spaghetti dish when I was a kid back in the 60's that I thought it was the real dish but it was not. No tomato sauce at all, ground beef, canned mushrooms, green onion and soy sauce (My mom is from Hong Kong) so it was a asian twist on this pasta but now I make the pasta with tomatoes and without the soy sauce.

    Back in the 1930s, the dried pasta then had to be cooked for 20 minutes. I remember cooking pasta for 20 minutes ago and that was in the early 1980s.

    I do this a lot. Quick cook noodles, like small macaroni or angel hair, work the best. I also layer angel hair with garlic seasoned soften cream cheese, sauce and a jar of water until the noodles are covered, cover with foil and bake. It makes a great side dish for any dinner. My kids also like gnocchi, which works well for a quick cook. (You can make and freeze it or buy it.)

    Lea and Perrins is interesting stuff. I can see it in this recipe, but I would add and taste, myself. I'm not used to a lot of that raisin/allspice/orange zest flavor in a lot of dishes, but it's my secret ingredient in meatless beans and lentils, as it takes the beany edge off the legumes and kicks up the umame.

  • @donaldharringtonjr.708

    i love making one pot pasta dishes. The best short cut ive come up with is 1lb dry pasta 4Cups liquid. Its fool proof whether your making spaghetti or mac n cheese or homemade hamburger helper.

    Y'all are making me hurt. You so funny. We put Lea & Perrins in dang near everything we cook. My husband and his family taught me this. I didn't know how to cook way back then. Those few little shakes were not enough. 🤣🤣🤣Of course Lea & Perrins makes the meal. If y'all used it alot to flavor and then you make it without, you'd definitely notice it didn't have it. I know this because I've purposely not put it into the cajun food I've made.😉Boy, I sure got told it was missing.🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the good morning chuckle. Y'all made my day😁👍

    Quick flavor hack: Add your cup of water to the jar to rinse the remaining flavor out.
