Step-by-step Recipe: Bolognese Sauce

Bolognese Meat Sauce on Pre-cooked Lasagna


This is a mighty tasty sauce which is simple to do. It is also great with pasta (spaghetti bolognese, anyone?) and could keep well in the fridge.


This is my recipe for Bolognese Meat Sauce:

Ingredients:

2 large brown onions - chopped finely
1 kg minced beef
2 bay leaves
500g of canned whole tomatoes
2 tbsp of tomato paste
2 tbsp oil
salt and pepper to taste


Method:

Heat up oil in a large saucepan. Add onions and bay leaves and saute on medium heat for 2 minutes.



2. Add minced beef and stir well for 5 minutes or until beef is cooked.




3. Add the canned tomatoes and tomato paste into the beef mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.



4. Voila!
Tasty bolognese sauce for lasagna or spaghetti bolognese.

This looks good but is not real Bolognese sauce. To get the right texture of bolognese you either need to simmer it for the minimum one hour or use a pressure cooker. Also needs milk and wine to be authentic.
