Spaghetti sauce idea

[fstarsinic]

This is not a recipe but I've found that if I make a typical red pasta sauce with ground beef, italian seasoning, etc... (just a quickie) .... it comes to life by tossing in a leftover smoked pork rib.
Just barely enough that you can tell it's there. Enough that you wish for more.

I really like it. You should be able to tell there's a secret ingredient in there but not enough that you can't tell what it is.

You don't want to serve smoked spaghetti. That's a different show.

Great idea, I'll have to try it. Like you said, for that "secret" ingredient which almost all good sauces have, I love your idea. Too bad it's not a secret anymore..LOL...thanks for sharing!

any time i trim beef or pork i save the trimmings and when i get a pan full i smoke it then freeze. works great when added to red sauce, soup,stew, chop fine and add to omelets.
If i have enough i'll make a jambalaya or pastalaya w/ the trimmings.
