A delicious bolognaise sauce, full of goodness and a few secret ingredients.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp | Olive oil |
1 | Chopped onion |
2 rashers | Rindless bacon, Finely chopped |
3 | Garlic cloves, Chopped finely |
1 | Carrot, Chopped finely |
1 handful | Spinach, Chopped finely |
500 g | Mince |
1 tin | Crushed tomatoes (Main) |
1 cup | Beef stock |
3 Tbsp | Brown sugar |
3 Tbsp | Tomato paste |
1 Tbsp | Ground ginger |
1 handful | Fresh basil |
¼ cup | Red wine |
1 handful | Shaved parmesan |
Directions
- In a large frying pan or wok, fry onion, bacon and garlic in olive oil, until onion becomes translucent. Then add carrot and spinach and fry for a further minute or two. Next add mince and break up with a fork until browned all over.
- Add 400g tin of crushed tomatoes (you can also use a tin of whole cherry tomatoes), beef stock, brown sugar, tomato paste, ground ginger, fresh basil and red wine. Combine well. Let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- While your bolognaise is cooking, cook your pasta for 12-13 minutes. You can use any, but I use fettuccine. Serve pasta with bolognaise sauce on top, with some fresh basil leaves and shaved parmesan cheese. Fabulisimo!
