Saucy!

[stoutfellow]

So, I made spaghetti for my Christmas dinner (and, as usual, several post-Christmas dinners). I couldn't find the sauce recipe I've used in the past, so I went with one from The Joy of Cooking, with some circumstantial modifications. It was fairly tasty, but a bit too greasy; I think the meat I used wasn't lean enough. (How greasy was it? Let's just say that I didn't let the dogs lick the plate.) A night in the refrigerator helped. I was able to scrape off a good bit of the grease before reheating a portion, and it was much better today.

Verdict: better than the paella, not as good as the pad thai, the quiche Lorraine, or the orange-almond chicken.
