Nick's spaghetti with tomato sauce


This is a bit of a strange request but I have recently watched this film and I keep getting serious cravings for the tomato spaghetti that Nick makes throughout the film and want to try and make it. Does anyone know of any good recipes for this type of dish or where I could find one? This seems to happen a lot to me when i see a nice looking meal in a film x

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

email me at the personal messages and i will send you either sauce w/o meat
or gravy w/meat=sausages, meatballs or pork ribs( an italian favorite, honest)
o.k.?

reply

or just try allrecipes.com - it's a great place to search for recipes by name or ingredients etc.

reply

your recipe was the simplest i have ever found, and good. the whore sauce was just as good for a 'munchy-quick-fix'. thanks

reply

all recipes i will send to an e-mail address, writing recipes for each personal message is hard for me to do. include e-mail address's in all personal messages
and it will be an attachment in my e-mail to all of you.

reply

Is the suace for that recipe not runny?

reply

mine or theirs? mine is firm but soft sauce, not watery..sticks to the pasta.
theirs was not a runny sauce either.

is it possible if u could send me the recipe? :) i have a craving for pasta that looks like nicks hahahaha

reply

send a personal message with your e-mail address and when the other people who got the recipe let me know how it worked for them, then you will have the first of 3-4 other recipes sent to you.

reply

Thanks a lot, now I want spaghetti...of course I almost always want pasta of some sort.

reply

oilandgarlic, you arent the only one who gets fixated with meals in movies...I was seriously wanting some tomato spaghetti after this!!!

reply

To the OP.
Here it is.
Fry garlic in olive oil, when they turned a bit red, they them out.
Put the tomato sauce, preferably the Star Pumarro brand, Mutti Rustico.
Seasoned with pepper and a tiny bit of salt, my secret: a bit of sugar and parsley, just a bit.
Top mixed sauce and spag with basil leaves and you're good to go.

People on this horrible movie's message boards, asking for recipes of pasta and tomato sauce.

*sigh*

Congratulations, you just set the culinary revolution back about 15 years.

reply

and we have you, too!

reply

jwk-2, at last we have our troll, to ruin it for those who love the film or enjoy posting at this board. i have been in contact with those who have tried the recipe. simple and a good one at that, if you use plain spaghetti.

reply

some people just need to relax a little more before they get on these boards....imho it was not a horrible movie - it was sweet & entertaining.

reply

what are you doing in this part of the board about sauce. put it else where.

reply

Well, to be fair, this is the Internet *Movie* Database, not the Internet *Sauce* Database, so you have to expect *some* talk of movies, but what a great website ISDB would be! :)

reply

this part of the board was for people wanting a recipe for sauce, not trolls who want to bash and complain about an important part of the movie where the little girl breaks down and eats something that is not junk or fast food.

there is always a few people who want to ruin a good thing and make a public debate about it. the elections are over. if you want a sauce recipe or two send a private message and i will gladly give you my take on some of the recipes or ingredients in the film, the Lime Leaves mentioned in the film can make a dull meal a better one, as close to Thai as you can get. are you interested?

reply

post your e-mail address to get recipe. i keep receiving personal messages for recipe but get few replies with the addresses, stop sending them if you can not do that, AND.....do not just give your address. give info on who you are or you will not get the recipe.

reply

anyone who puts sugar in any amount, might as well use Ketchup/Catsup.
garlic browns not turn red and people are asking how to make a sauce not use an
already made. italian parsley is for eating, garnish parsley would ruin the dish
and stay away from the asian parsley, unless you are familiar with it's taste.

reply

Best comment hahaha.. ISDb :)

reply

I must've read wrong. Did you say you munch on whore sause?

reply

I am SO glad someone else picked up on the 'whore sauce'... just about to watch the movie so was starting to wonder if it was some kind of movie in-joke....

Whore sauce? Really?

reply

LOL...stop, stop! You're killing me, oh my god, that sauce lol! I kept reading this thread and was wondering when someone was going to notice, haha.

reply

Isn't basically every form of spaghetti have tomato sauce?

Aaron Eckhart and Abigail Breslin were on Emeril once and they made some recipes from the movie, pasta included.

10-minute spaghetti sauce is like asking for a good burger at McDonald's.
A rich sauce is the result of simmering.
All day long.
You will know the difference. I think.

reply

Making your own tomato sauce seems like a gigantic waste of time. Spend all day making just the sauce when you can just simply open a can and it'll just fine. Seems like a lot of effort into something that only makes a small difference.

reply

Damn that pasta looked horrible  Overcooked pasta and gloopy sauce. Yuck.
