2010 Spaghetti Feed & Auction event program

Beneficiary The San Mateo County Association of REALTORS® Foundation was created to benefit housing-related causes throughout San Mateo County. The SAMCAR Foundation is a separate 501(c)3 Public Benefit Corporation, funded through the generous contributions of its REALTOR® and Affiliate members, and friends.

Since its inception, the SAMCAR Foundation has focused its charitable efforts towards benefitting organizations and programs that strive to make San Mateo County a more livable, affordable and thriving community. Through its work, the SAMCAR Foundation has made significant financial contributions that have enabled many of our San Mateo County citizens to finance a down payment on their first home, make their mortgage payments, and receive the education needed to make a sound investment in their financial stability and future through homeownership.

Homeownership is said to bring about substantial social benefits for families and communities as a whole. Thus, the SAMCAR Foundation’s primary goal is to help ensure that everyone in San Mateo County is able to achieve the American Dream of owning a home. Our REALTOR® members and Affiliates are proud to contribute to this important and worthy endeavor.

The San Mateo County Association of REALTORS® Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Tax ID# 94-3163126

a special recipe from Marshall Realty

Anne Oliva’s Almond Nut Tart 1 cup flour 1 tbsp sugar ½ cup salted soft butter a few drops almond extract a few drops vanilla extract

1 tsp water ¾ cup heavy cream ¾ cup sugar 1 tbsp Grand Marnier 1 cup sliced almonds

To make crust mix together 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp sugar, ½ cup salted soft butter, a few drops of almond extract, a few drops vanilla extract and 1 tsp water. Press into a 9 in tart pan. Chill. Save 1 tsp of the dough for patching. Bake in a preheated 375˚F oven until browned lightly. To make the filling in a saucepan mix together ¾ cup heavy cream, ¾ cup sugar, a few drops almond extract and 1 tbsp Grand Marnier. Warm the mixture until sugar melts, not too hot: add 1 cup sliced almonds. Pour into the baked shell and bake in a preheated 450 oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn oven down to 400˚F and bake another 15 minutes turning often so that the sugar mixture caramelizes evenly—this can be a little tricky.

a special recipe from Junk King

Baked Spaghetti 2 cups canned diced tomatoes 2 cups tomato sauce 1 cup water ½ cup diced onion ½ cup diced green bell pepper 2 cloves garlic, chopped ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley 1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning

1 ½ tsp House Seasoning 1 ½ tsp seasoning salt 1 ½ tsp sugar 2 small bay leaves 1 ½ pounds ground beef 8 oz. uncooked angel hair pasta 1 cup grated cheddar 1 cup grated Monterey Jack

Preheat the oven to 350˚F. In a stockpot, combine the tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, onions, peppers, garlic, parsley, seasoning mixtures, sugar, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce the heat and let simmer, covered, for 1 hour. Crumble the ground beef in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until fully cooked, with no pink color remaining. Drain the fat from the meat, and then add the ground beef to the stockpot. Simmer for 20 more minutes. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

Cover the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch pan with sauce. Add a layer of pasta and then a little less than 1/2 of each cheese; repeat the layers, ending with the sauce. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Top the casserole with the remaining cheese, return it to the oven, and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 more minutes. Cut into squares before serving.

Suzan Getchell-Wallace

Coldwell Banker Fahey Properties Inc

Panna Cotta (Cooked Cream)

½ cup half-and-half 1 envelope unflavored gelatin 2 cups heavy cream ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar One 2-inch piece vanilla bean Grated zest of 1 small lemon Grease 4 1/2 cup ramekins lightly with butter and set aside.

Pour the half-and-half in a small bowl and sprinkle on the gelatin, then stir to dissolve. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, mix the cream, sugar, vanilla bean, and half-and-half mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture begins to boil. Take care not to let the mixture bubble up over the sides of the pan. Cook until the mixture begins to thicken slightly, then remove the pan from heat, and discard the vanilla bean. Stir the lemon zest into the cream, then carefully pour the mixture into the ramekins. Place them on a tray and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set, about 5 hours or overnight.

To serve, run a butter knife around the sides of the ramekins. Place a serving plate on top and invert the plate. Shake the ramekins to release, or dip each mold quickly in hot water and then invert onto serving dishes. Serve at once.
