Chefs Spaghetti Bolognese

This is my special tasty bolognese recipe.

One of my favourite things to make. You can add extra ingredients like zucchini, bacon and even carrot whatever tickles your fancy. If you hate stuff like mushrooms, take them out. If you have extra time, you can cook the nap sauce yourself. Most of the time I buy one so buying your favourite Bolognese sauce is ok. (there is a picture of the one I use further down).

Don't have or like spaghetti? Don't worry, you can even use other pasta like fettuccine or macaroni. Don't like pasta at all? No problem, it's delicious without pasta, even on toast or in a toasted sandwich. (a great way to use the leftovers).

Simple and tasty Bolognese, easy to make but delicious.

Adding cheese is up to you and what you like. I add mine on the plate cos I cook for more than me. In restaurants I add it in the pan, then a small amount on top.

This will take 30 minutes or less if you already have the sauce made. Great for the family to feed that hunger, students and singles or people that are just learning how to cook, pastas are a great way to learn with yummy sauces and fantastic flavours. Make it with the kids or after a day's work or study.

RECIPE

Makes 4 Serves

Preparation & Cooking Time: Roughly 20 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

50 Grams Brown Onion Sliced

50 Grams Green Capsicum (Peppers)

80 Grams Tomatoes cut in Quarters or 6 Cherry Tomatoes cut in half

190 Grams Champignon Mushrooms cut in half

75 Grams Mushrooms Sliced

1/2 Tablespoon Basil

2 Teaspoon Oregano

2 Cloves Garlic Diced

1 Teaspoon Salt

1 Teaspoon Black Pepper

500 Grams Pasta Sauce

500 Grams Mince

Cheese to Taste

Directions

In a pot, add water, a pinch of salt, a teaspoon oil and the spaghetti. Bring the water to the boil and simmer for around 10 minutes. Taste to see if cooked. In the meantime, prepare your other ingredients.

Chop the tomatoes and champignons in half, slice capsicum (peppers), button mushrooms, garlic and herbs. Set aside. Grate the cheese. I prefer to use cheddar but parmesan is popular in spaghetti Bolognese. Set the cheese aside in the refrigerator until needed.

By now, the pasta should be done. Taste test one to check. Drain the pasta. Set aside.

Put a tablespoon of canola, vegetable or olive oil in your pan. Once heated, place in the mince, breaking it up in your hand as you place it in. Cook the mince, breaking it up with your spoon until it just turns brown like the picture. Place mince in a strainer (colander) over a bowl, let it drain for a few minutes.

Add the drained juice back into the saucepan, let it heat up then add your garlic, herbs, vegetables, salt and pepper. Cook until sauteed, stirring occasionally. Put the mince aside and drain the vegetables. Clean all the oil from your pan. After the vegetables are drained enough, add the vegetables and mince back in the pan, then add your sauce. This is the sauce I use when I don't use Chefs Napoletana Sauce.

Simmer for a few minutes until sauce is thick (you may need to add some water). Add some grated cheese in the pan or add it once you serve it on a plate. Sprinkle some herbs and cracked pepper over the top for presentation. Enjoy!
