ingredients
- 2 leeks, chopped
- 3 tablespoons bacon grease
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1⁄4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1⁄8 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 14 1⁄2 ounces stewed tomatoes
- 14 1⁄2 petite cut tomatoes (diced with jalapeno's in rich juice is the best)
- 2 cups v- 8 juice (add more if it gets too thick)
- uncooked spaghetti (3/4 of a package, broken up)
- monterey jack cheese (grated for garnish)
directions
- Cook bacon and keep grease along with adding 3 tbsp additional bacon grease. Add garlic, parsley and basil - saute a little and then add leeks and saute them down.
- Add tomatoes (chop them in the pan to make them bite size) and V-8 juice and let it cook down while for the flavors to meld like a soup (approx 20 min.) Then throw the uncooked spaghetti in to thicken it into a saucy sexy gut buster. I put grated jack cheese on top and let it melt before serving.
- Note: To clean leeks - cut off tops and some of the bottoms like you do with green onions. Slice them into fourths lengthwise. Run a sink of cold water and swish them around to get dirt out. Do this a couple of times, drain in colander and pat dry with paper towel. Then they are ready to chop.
