    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 pounds lamb riblets
    1/4 cup water
    2 cups Sicilian Pasta Sauce (recipe follows)
    1 (16-ounce) package capellini, cooked, drained
    Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    Arrange the lamb in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes or until very brown.
    Remove the lamb to a 4- or 5-quart saucepan. Drain the pan drippings; return 1 tablespoon drippings to the pan. Pour in water, stirring to scrape up any brown bits. Pour the liquid over the lamb in the saucepan. Add 2 cups Sicilian Pasta Sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until the meat falls from the bone.
    Place the pasta on individual plates and top with the lamb and sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

    Sicilian Pasta Sauce

    Makes: 3 quarts

    1 whole head garlic, peeled and minced
    1 large eggplant (about 1 3/4 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
    1/3 cup olive oil
    4 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce
    1 (28-ounce) can pear tomatoes
    1 1/2 cups port
    1 1/2 cups chopped fresh parsley
    3 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 tablespoons oregano
    2 bay leaves
    1 cinnamon stick

    Salt and pepper to taste
    Combine the eggplant, garlic and olive oil in a 5-quart saucepan. Cook over medium high heat for 50 minutes or until the eggplant is falling apart, stirring frequently. Add the undrained tomatoes; stir to break the tomatoes into chunks. Stir in the tomato sauce, port, parsley, brown sugar, oregano, bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
    Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour or until reduced to 3 quarts.
    Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaves and cinnamon stick.
