Ray's Bolognese Recipe
Ingredients
Method
Sauce
- 500g beef mince
- 400g can of diced tomatoes
- 280g container of tomato paste
- 2 x medium carrots
- 2-3 stalks of celery
- 1 medium red capsicum
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Fresh parsley
- Fresh basil
- Dried oregano
- Splash of red wine (optional)
- 1 spoonful of vegemite (If you want a kick!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pasta
- 1 packet of penne pasta or pasta of your choice
Sides & Toppings (optional)
- Parmesan cheese
- Garlic bread
Notes:
- You can replace or add additional seasonal vegetables to suit your taste. Zucchini or spinach are great options!
- Herbs can also be chosen to suit your preference
Sauce
- Dice up the carrot, celery and capsicum
- Crush the garlic using a garlic crusher, or dice finely
- Grate the carrot
- Heat up a large pan or saucepan, add the oil and garlic
- Once the oil is hot (but not too hot!), add the beef mince
- Stir intermittently until the beef mince is browned
- Add in the vegetables, diced tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs, salt and pepper, vegemite (if you want the extra kick!) and dash of wine
- Turn down the stove to medium heat and stir intermittently for around 15 minutes
Pasta
- While the sauce is simmering, heat up a saucepan with water, bringing it to boil
- Once the water is boiling, pour in the pasta
- Let the pasta cook for the allotted time provided on the pasta packet (usually 7-12 minutes) - stiring occasionally to avoid the pasta sticking to the bottom
- Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and drain the water through a colander.
- Distribute the pasta across bowls or Tupperware (if you are planning to freeze it!)
- Pour the sauce over your pasta
- Sprinkle with cheese
