Spaghetti with Pork – Špagety s vepřovým masem

Growing up this was a common weekend meal. I loved it covered in cheese, which nicely melted. You can make it with chicken as well, which would cook faster.

Total: 1 hr. 10 min.

Ingredients:

Spaghetti Sauce
1 – 1 ½ pounds (450 g – 680 g)
pork roast
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
2 cups (470 ml) water (first phase)
3 ounces (85 g) tomato paste
3 teaspoons granulated sugar
½ cup (120 ml) water (second phase)
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
Spaghetti pasta
Topping
Cheese (Swiss, Monterey Jack
or cheese of your choice)

Directions:

• Cut 1 – 1 ½ lbs pork into small cubes about an inch (2,5 cm) and transfer into
  a large pot.
• Add 1 Tbsp oil, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp seasoning salt. Turn stove on high and mix
  well together. Keep stirring and roasting for about 2 minutes until the meat
  starts to change color.
• Add 2 cups water. Partially covered, bring to boil.
• Boil on gentle boil for 50 minutes. Stir about every 15 minutes.
• 10 minutes before the 50 minutes is done, start cooking the spaghetti
  in water. (Follow package instructions.)
• Taste a piece of meat. You want it to be soft, otherwise it needs more
  time to cook.
• After the meat is soft, add 3 oz tomato paste and 3 tsp sugar, and stir. Put
  the lid back on partially covered and keep on gentle boil.
• Preparing thickening: Put ½ cup water into a small bowl, add 2 Tbsp all
  purpose flour and whisk together.
• Pour thickening into the pot through a strainer. (To catch any flour chunks.)
• Continue stirring and bring back to boil. Boil for about 1 – 2 minutes. (If too
  much water evaporated while cooking the meat, add more water for your
  desired thickness of the spaghetti sauce.)
• Serve cooked spaghetti noodles on a plate, top it with meat and sauce.
  Lastly, finely grate fresh cheese on top.
