SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE

existential dread, subjective media and news reviews and opinionated but not necessarily well-informed commentary.

Jimmy 3K's Bolognase

What Youse Need
A large frying pan
A large pot to boil water
A pasta strainer
A wooden spoon

Ingredients
1 Package (12-16 oz.) Fuscilli Pasta (The kind Kramer made into the
likeness of Jerry Seinfeld)
2 Lbs. Chop Meat (don't get the lower fat stuff, get the 85%)
1 Jar of pasta sauce (Unless you have some recipe for sauce that does
not take all Sunday afternoon)
1 Large Onion
3 Cloves of regular garlic or 1 clove of elephant garlic (ask your
local elephant)
2-3 Chicken bullion cubes (or a Tsb of Salt instead.)
1-2 Tsb of light cooking oil (2x)
A dash of basil, or a few fresh basil leaves if their in season.
Real Romano or Parmesan cheese, not that Kraft $*!%. America spells my
cheese Locatelli

Preperation:
Mince the onion, mince the garlic: Your fingers will smell like garlic and you will be crying like a French actress but with less under arm hair if you do this right.

Heat the frying pan with a little oil, when the oil starts getting hot. Throw in the onion and garlic, you probably want to do this on a fairly high flame. Start browning the onions and garlic. If you have a dash of basil or the real stuff throw it in, put some salt in too if you like. How much? I don't know, 4 cups of salt, hows that?

Fill as much water as the box of pasta you bought tells you, I use the Barilla Omega 3 pasta which I was shocked to find down here in North Cackalakka. If it aint chicken fried they dont want to know.

Your going to add the chicken bullion to the boiling water and a Tsb. of oil. This keeps the pasta from sticking together and brings the water to a boil quicker. I don't rinse my pasta, the chicken stock from the bullion gives it some flavor. Cover the lid, don't add the pasta until the water is boiling.

Once your onion and garlic is browning your going to throw the chop meat in the frying pan, you might lower the heat a touch. I like to stab my chop meat with the wooden spoon like Joe Pesci did to Dennis Farina did in Goodfellas "Now go home and get your &@$(!# shine box chop meat!". Chop and brown your chop meat. Drain the oil from the meat and check your pot to see if your water is boiling. It is? Add the freekin pasta DaVinci.

Stir the pasta, and lower to a simmer, you don't need to boil it. If the meat is brown lower the flame and add the jar of sauce and mix it up. I use the Classico Tomato and Basil.

By the time the pasta is cooked the sauce will be hot.

Time to eat numb-nuts
Tchrow it in da bowl, grate some cheese, bada-bing.

Best eaten with a sleeveless t-shirt and a gold chain with a pepper on
the end of it (I know you have one.) spend mealtime arguing and making threatening gestures.
