CLEMENZA MAKES SAUCE

RICHARD CASTELLAN & AL PACINO

The GODFATHER

"Pacino & Bellino" refers to a culinary and cultural connection centred around Italian-American traditions, specifically involving author Daniel Bellino-Zwicke (often referred to as Bellino), and actor Al Pacino.

Here are the key aspects of this Connection:

Sunday Sauce Recipe: Daniel Bellino created a "Sunday Sauce" (Italian-American gravy with sausages, meatballs, and braciole) recipe inspired by the scene in The Godfather where Clemenza teaches Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) how to make it.

• "Sunday Sauce" Sneakers: Bellino created limited-edition "Sunday Sauce" sneakers inspired by this theme and his Italian cookbook.
• Al Pacino’s Favorite Dish: Bellino has highlighted and written about Al Pacino’s favorite dish, which is Spaghetti Aglio e Olio (garlic and oil), a dish often cooked by Pacino's family in the Bronx.
• Culinary Collaboration/Homage: Bellino-Zwicke has written extensively about Italian-American culture, often bridging the gap between iconic figures like Frank Sinatra and Al Pacino with authentic, traditional recipes in his books and articles.
• "Sunday Sauce alla Pacino": This is a specific recipe created by Bellino-Zwicke, described as a culinary tribute to Al Pacino.

SPAGHETTI GARLIC OIL alla PACINO

aka "SPAGHETTI AGLIO OLIO"

PACINO PASTA Recipe by BELLINO

INGREDIENTS :

¼ cup best quality
Italian Olive Oil

6 cloves of Garlic,
peeled and minced

½ teaspoon
Red Pepper Flakes

1 pound
imported Italian Spaghetti

¼ cup
Italian Parsley

Put a large pot with 4 quarts of water on the stove. Add 2 tablespoons salt and bring to the boil.

Place Olive Oil and garlic in a large frying pan and cook on medium heat for 2 minutes.

Add red pepper and continue cooking on low heat until the garlic begins to turn slightly brown. Turn heat off and let rest.

Add spaghetti to the boiling salted water. Cook spaghetti according to directions on package.  Two minutes before the cooking time on package start testing the doneness of the spaghetti by taking a strand out of the water and biting into it to see how far cooked it. By doing this you’ll be able to determine if it needs to cook a bit longer or if it’s ready.

Once the pasta is finished cooking, quickly remove it from the heat and drain into a colander, reserving about 1/3 of a cup of the pasta cooking water to add to pasta sauce.

Add spaghetti back to the pot it cooked in and add the garlic olive oil sauce and the a mix well. 

Add a little of the pasta cooking water if needed. Add the chopped parsley and mix.

Divide the spaghetti among four pasta plates or bowls. Sprinkle the top of each plate of Spaghetti with some chopped parsley and serve.

POLLO alla CACCITORE

An ITALIA-AMERICAN FAVORITE

Pollo alla Cacciatore is quite popular all over Italy, from Piedmonte in the North West of Italy, down to Campania and Naples, and even into Sicily. The dish is especially popular in Tuscan and the Umbria region of Central Italy. Chicken Cacciatore is hugely popular with the Italian-American Enclave, as it is tasty, easy to prpepare, and has inexpensive ingredients, and the dish holds well when left in the refrigerator and is reheated for multiple meals. This being said, you can make larger batches by doubling and even tripling the following recipe.

There is no one sigle recipe for Pollo Cacciatore which means hunters chicken. The dish was originally made by hunters, using rabbits, which you can subsitute one or two rabbits for the chicken in the recipe that follows. 

As the original dish was made by hunter, who besided shooting rabbits and other wild game, and also coming across wild mushrooms in the woods, the hunters made their Cacciatore with Muschrroms. If you don't like msuhrooms, as many people do not, they may be omitted from the recipe. If you don't like Peppers, you can omit them as well, as long as you have the base sauce recipe, of the tomatoes and wine, and the aromatic vegetables, especially the garlic, and onoins. You can also add Olives to the dish, if you so choose. Experiment, and make the recipe you own., just Enjoy.
