Stove top meal
Ingredients
- 110 g Dried Spaghetti Pasta
- 250 g Beef mince
- 400 g Chopped tomato
- 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 Fresh Basil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Celery
- Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, carrot and celery. (The Zyliss Easy Pull is your best friend right now).
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat.
- Add the onion, carrot and celery to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until the veg starts to soften.
- Finely chop and add the garlic to the pan.
- Season the mince and add to the pan.
- Stir the mince until it has browned with no pink bits remaining. Add the tomato puree and stir. Add the tin of chopped tomatoes.
- Add the sugar and give it all a good stir. Lower the heat slightly, cover with a pan lid (loosely) and leave to cook gently for 30 minutes. Stir regularly. After 30 minutes add the dried Oregano. Meanwhile boil a pan of water and when at boiling point add the Spaghetti.
- Chop most of the fresh Basil only leaving a few leaves for garnishing. Add the basil to the mince mixture. When the pasta is cooked (soft / al dentè) drain and serve a portion to each plate. Serve a portion of the Bolognese sauce on top. Sprinkle the cheese on top with a garnish of Basil. Buon appetito!
