NickCDN Posted March 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I cant stop thinking about the sauce used on the spaghetti in the Lido. Does anyone have the recipe for this sauce. I would be forever thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HALrunner Posted March 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Sadly, I don't have it. However, I know in the MDR you can ask for recipes of meals you have enjoyed. It usually takes a day or two, and sometimes they don't get the exact right one, but they are always willing to try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be negative, but there is a strong possibility that this sauce is out of a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted March 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I cant stop thinking about the sauce used on the spaghetti in the Lido. Does anyone have the recipe for this sauce.

Add all other ingredients. Boil for 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper and sugar as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) I hope some people have better luck breaking these huge quantity recipes down to useable amounts for the average family. For years, I did the arithmetic and divided down and the recipes never taste the same as they do when made as written. (I'm a pretty decent cook and know basic arithmetic. :) * What does it mean by "onions, finely chopped, 3 each"? Each what?

I think they say "each" for individual items as opposed to tsp., cups, etc. Edited March 2, 2014 by SilvertoGold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 2, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) That's what I mean. These large volume recipes are meant for commercial... not for the home kitchen. They are not clear. Most of them give rise to one question or another. Three each could well mean, sweet (red/Spanish) onion, yellow onion, white bermuda onion etc Edited March 2, 2014 by sail7seas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted March 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think it just means 3 onions, but by the time you cut that down for 2 or 4 people you would have almost nothing and onions give the sauce the taste. I'm surprised it only calls for three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised it only calls for three of them. It is all that garlic that makes up for only 3 onions. I still think there is way too much oil to be even moderately healthy!

sppunk Posted March 3, 2014 #12 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'd pay good money to swim in a pool of red sauce, actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEmerson Posted March 3, 2014 #13 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Errrr. Need more onion and garlic. One trick I use is use white wine and a whole carrot (top removed) to add a natural sweetness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2/3 tsp. olive oil per serving is pretty healthy. It's all that butter that I put on the bread that gets me! Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catl331 Posted March 3, 2014 #15 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I doubt Italians in Palermo would think that is a lot of Olive oil. I thought it wasn't much per serving. I bet the Lido one is from a couple of lg. cans; even Canaletto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother was part Italian...she always grated up a carrot into her sauce. Need to try the white wine! I think a red sauce is tricky...so many different ways to make it....

babyher Posted March 3, 2014 #17 Share Posted March 3, 2014 You Always make me laugh!!! :D Who needs a crystal blue swimming pool if one can have a pond of red sauce. :) I always think of my Grandmother and mom and aunts stirring that HUGE pot of sauce (gravy) with the big wooden spoon. We would always tease them that they looked like a witch stirring a cauldron :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
