Spaghetti with Sauce arrostiti di schiavo


This wonderful sauce uses the tried and true method of roasting the vegetables in the oven. It gives the great taste of having been simmered on the back of the stove for hours, with nearly constant stirring to keep the pot from burning. 



This uses what was found in the pantry. A can of diced tomatoes, an onion, garlic, some mushrooms, and a large can of ready made sauce as a base. Just do not over season, use what is there and only add sparingly, so you don't screw up.



Ingredients:
1 lg. can (24 oz.) diced tomatoes, well drained
2 large onions, chopped into good sized pieces
8 oz fresh mushrooms, rinsed, dried, and sliced
5 cloves garlic
1 24 oz can of spaghetti sauce
1 lbs ground pork, browned
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
olive oil, salt + pepper (to taste -- see note!)

Garlic bread:
1 French garlic bread baguette
1 cup grated provolone cheese or any white Italian cheese
4 cloves garlic
4 Tbs butter
Spaghetti pasta

Directions:
Pre heat oven to 250 degrees F. Spray a Dutch oven well.


Do your cutting: Rinse and cut the mushrooms, dice the onion, peel the cloves of garlic.


Place mushrooms, onion, and garlic in large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Add Italian seasoning and sugar, stir well. Open and drain the tomatoes. Add these all together in the dutch oven and mix.




Cover and roast for 3 hours.

During this time, brown the ground pork in a large skillet and drain well.
Pour in the can of pre-made sauce.




Carefully open the Dutch oven and add the meat and sauce. Stir well and re-cover. Back to the oven for 1 more hour.

By now your kitchen will have the aroma of a fine dining Italian Restaurant.



Now to finish:
Line a baking sheet with foil.
With a serrated knife, slice the garlic bread into 1 inch pieces. Arrange on baking sheet.





Press cloves of garlic through a press:

Add butter and microwave for about 20 seconds, stir and brush each piece of bread with garlic butter. Spoon the grated cheese on each piece.

When you take the sauce out of the oven, switch the oven from bake to broil. Carefully slide in the upper rack so that it is on the top position. Broil the bread just long enough to heat and melt the cheese. Watch carefully so it doesn't burn.

Cook the spaghetti pasta according to package directions. Drain but do not rinse!



Serve the pasta and sauce in separate bowls so your guests can add what they want. Always have some good old fashioned Parmesan cheese on hand if they wish to indulge.
Brush up on your Italian love language and serve with a kiss!

==========================
William Higgins




William Higgins (also "Wim Hof") was a pioneering director of gay pornographic films. 

Gay adult erotic art has been much maligned. However, even if you don't talk about it, it has played an important role in our lives. Here we simply refer to it as an art form that has shaped our lives and our outlooks. 


Higgin’s first film, “A Married Man” stared porn legend Jack Wrangler, was produced in 1974. He had since produced over 140 internationally distributed titles. His films have won several Grabby awards. These are presented annually to honor work done in the gay adult erotic video industry. He is also in the GayVN Awards Hall of Fame.


William Higgins founded Catalina Video where he directed of such gay adult film classics as Sailor in the Wild (1983), Pacific Coast Highway (1981), Pizza Boy: He Delivers (1985), Young and the Hung (1985) and many more.





Higgins launched his career in the mid 1970’s when other major porn studios stopped shipping films to several states in the south of the USA.
New laws had made it illegal to send pornographic materials across state lines, and in response Higgins started in his own studio in Florida, one of the areas affected by the new laws.

In interviews he would share that he started to make his own films because the films being created by competitors were so bad.

After his studios were raided in 1988, the resulting charges were later dropped, Higgins decided to look overseas for locations that were more accepting of his work.

He settled in Amsterdam and started using European models. He later relocated his business to Prague for nearly 25 years. Here, up until his death just before Christmas last year, he produced works under his own name brand William Higgins.



He can be considered one of gay adult film's founding fathers.

"William Higgins gave me my start. He believed in me the second I walked in the door," Chi Chi LaRue said. "I will never forget getting on the plane and flying to San Francisco for the first time to direct. He was very private and introverted but we had a bond, a special bond. He came to see my drag shows, and we'd talk to boys together; I'd ask them if they wanted to do porn movies. When I went to Prague, he would take us around to all these fabulous places. He started to look like Santa Claus in his later years but he was always fashionable and chic."
Bill loved porn. He really, really loved this industry. That's hard to find these days."

C1R's Rob Novinger described Higgins as "the pioneer of gay porn."
"Bill continued to direct and produce movies for Catalina through 2018," said Novinger. "He will be missed but his legacy will always live on."

Former performer and veteran producer-director Jamie Hendrix says: "He was a pioneer, along with Chuck Holmes and John Summers, who both gave me my start in the gay industry in 1988. I learned and grew watching his work, adapting my own style, and having mentors who did work closely with him. Thank you and RIP to William Higgins and all of our lost iconic gay XXX pioneers."

Director Lucas Kazan speaks of Higgins' indelible influence. "I miss Bill," he said. "His movies awoke me to my identity as a gay man first, and then as a filmmaker. I can't think of anyone with this long a career, these many iconic movies, this big a legacy."
