Jack Rassie’s Tomato Sauce & Sicilian Busiate As Matt and I were growing up as kids we both worked in Matt’s father’s restaurants, the Iron Gate in Westlake and Pagliacci’s in Cleveland. Everyone always asks where we get our inspirations from, of course our Parents and Grandparents. Well here is one of those inspirations that we would like to share with you it is Matt’s Gido Jack Rassie’s tomato sauce recipe that he taught me when I was a young apprentice at Pagliacci’s restaurant.

Since our heritage is Sicilian, we are pairing the sauce with Busiate which is kind of “maccheroni” which is formed by twisting strands of pasta dough to create a spiral shape that is hollow in the center. The pasta is made by using a thin rod, known as a “ferro” around which each piece of dough is wound. The name comes from the word “busa” a very thin rod of “disa” grass that grows on arid sandy soils, grass was used as the stick to form the or the term “buso” which is a thin iron knitting needle. Busiate is made from wheat flour and water. (Wikipedia)

Here is a quick dinner that you can make at home this will feed 2-4 people. 1 quart of Jack Rassie’s Tomato sauce and 1 lbs. of pasta $20 (Store the tomato sauce in the refrigerate)
