Authentic Italian Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe
This easy and authentic Bolognese will make you feel like an Italian master
Equipment
- 1 Food processor (or be really handy with a knife)
- 1 Frying Pan Fairly large and deep to hold the sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb 80/20 ground beef
- 1 large carrot
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 medium onion
- 32 oz whole peeled tomatoes you can get by with less if doing fewer servings
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Start by browning your ground beef in a pan on medium high heat. Then removed the browned beef from the pan.
- Finely dice a carrot, celery stalk, and medium onion. I used a food processor for this. Mix them together into your sofrito.
- Add some olive oil to the pan, then add your sofrito to the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring once in the middle.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper, then cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add the ground beef back to the pan and add the jar of tomatoes. Simmer for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the sauce is as thick as desired, add in a quarter cup of parmesan cheese and stir well.Serve over noodles, with a nice glass of wine and some bread. Enjoy :)
