Makes 6-8 servings.
Ingredients for sauce:
- 4 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 carrots, cut into cubes
- 2-3 celery stalks, cut into little pieces
- 5 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 500 gr. ground beef
- 1 cup tomatoes, cut into pieces
- 100 gr. tomato paste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1½ - 2 cups beef or vegetable broth, or water
- 8-10 basil leaves, chopped finely (chop them just before adding them to the sauce so they don’t turn black)
- 1 package (400 gr.) pasta, any type
- 2-3 Tbsp. olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- packet of pasta
Directions
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the onion pieces and sauté until
they become translucent. Add the carrots, celery and garlic and continue
sautéing for 2-3 more minutes.
Add
the ground beef and continue cooking, making sure to break up the
clumps of minced as much as possible, until the beef is no longer pink.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper and liquid. Stir, cover the
pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Lower
the heat, then add the basil leaves. If there’s not enough liquid, you
can add ¼ cup at a time until the sauce reaches the desired thickness.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Continue cooking over low heat for another
30 minutes.
While the
sauce is cooking, prepare the pasta according to directions on the
packaging. Drain the pasta, and rinse it lightly with water. Return the
pasta to the pot, add olive oil and salt, and stir. Serve pasta, with
2-3 spoonfuls of Bolognese sauce on top.
