Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, peeled
1 large carrot, peeled
2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 pinches dried oregano
500 g minced beef
2 tablespoons tomato puree
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
50 ml red wine
1 (400 g) can chopped tomatoes
50 ml milk
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a hot pan. Grate the onion and carrot and crush the garlic before frying together. Season with the bay leaf, a pinch of oregano, Worcestershire sauce and a little salt and pepper.
  • Allow the onion to soften before making a well in the centre of the pan. Place the mince in the middle of the pan and stir to break it up.
  • Add the tomato puree and allow to cook out for 30 seconds. Continue until all the meat has browned nicely.
  • Add the wine and cook off the alcohol before adding the tomatoes. Leave to simmer for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Finally add the milk, and serve over your favourite pasta.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your Bolognese. Look for ripe tomatoes, good quality ground beef, and a flavorful red wine.
  • Brown the meat well. This will help develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time. The longer you simmer the sauce, the more time the flavors will have to develop.
  • Add the milk or cream at the end of cooking. This will help to create a rich, creamy sauce.
  • Serve with pasta or your favorite side dish. Bolognese is traditionally served with spaghetti, but it can also be served with other types of pasta, such as penne or rigatoni. It can also be served over polenta or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Bolognese is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a perfect meal for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little time and effort, you can make a Bolognese sauce that will impress your family and friends.
