Spaghetti. In the style of Dixie.
For the record, you can use just about any ready made sauce as it's just the base. What you add to it will give it the taste. I use Ragu because it's cheap and due to the excessive chemicals in it, it holds up well to extended cooking.
For the sauce I use:
4 Bay leaves.
3 jars of Ragu.
Enough tomatoe juice to keep consistancy.
Salt & Pepper.
For the spaghetti I use 2 pounds of Angel Hair.
For the meat balls use:
2 parts Russian Boar.
1 part venison.
And if you like, add 1 part ground beef.
Make meatballs to desired size.
Smoke meatballs on your unit of choice over pecan wood between 180-200 degrees until a internal temp of 140-145 degrees.
Remember, you don't want to cook them beyond about 145 on the smoker.
While the meatballs are cooling, cut up 1 link of venison sausage, 1 white onion, and one bell pepper.
To a large cast iron pot or pan, add the Ragu, bell pepper, onion, bay leaves, sliced venison sausage and mushrooms.
Simmer about 25 minutes or until it smells right.
At this point add the meatballs and Angel Hair and simmer until the AH is soft. Usually 25-30 minutes at a real low simmer. Then enjoy.
Note: While simmering, if sauce becomes to thick, simply add tomatoe juice to thin. Stir regularly while simmering from beginning to end.
I hope that y'all enjoy this simple but excellent recipe as much as I do. And as always, thanks for taking a peek my friends.

Not sure why but I imagined that spaghetti Dixie-style would have involved/included pigs feet.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

I bet simmering the noodles in the sauce rather than boiling in water first really makes the pasta soak in the flavor!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

You lost me at "Ragu".
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

A strange evening here on the forum. This post by SGH promoting jarred tomato sauce. Another thread we have RRP extoling the virtues of pre-packaged meatballs. Too much for the Italian blood in me. I "may" actually use these products in a hasty pinch. But I would never let others believe I thought it was "OK".
Hopefully tomorrow brings some fresh ideas with fresh ingredients!

Very nice cook my friend. I would have no trouble enjoying a plate of that.Coleman, Texas
Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

That's a neat take on traditional spaghetti for sure. The angel hair pasta killed it for me though, is that a personal favorite or a mrs? Here we have to make two, regular spaghetti for me and the kiddo, angel hair for the mrs. Really dig the idea of smoking the meat too.

I was riding along until the Russian boar (short ride)- I will not support anything associated with those remnants of the Soviet Union. I will make it thru this adventure and not miss anything of note from there, or their servants. FWIW-
BTW-I'm keeping the language on the right side as the remainder of the recipe and end result are worthy of finding a non communist boar (and that is not meant to be a political opening) substitute. FWIW-
@SGH - great documentation and cook-just need to change up the ingredients...

Pasta is my weak point. I would make myself look awful over a plate of that. I do not think you could possibly make too much of that.
