One of my all time favorite meals is Bolognese, not sure how traditional Italian it is probably a British version based on how my Mum made it. Its easy to make only a few ingredients needed, and is wonderful to freeze to have on hand for times you have limited time to cook. A jar of sauce is really not needed :-)
Ingredients:
- one pack of extra lean minced beef (hamburger meat in the US)
- 4 cloves of chopped garlic
- one small onion chopped
- about 5 chopped tomatoes, canned can also be used
- a generous tablespoon of Italian herbs and 2 bay leaves
- olive oil
- about 10 sliced mushrooms
- 2 small diced carrots and any other vegetables I add for the extra nutritional value :-)
Method:
- brown the beef with garlic and onions for 5 minutes
- add mushrooms and carrot and herbs for 3 minutes
- add tomatoes, herbs and bay leaves and simmer on low for 30 minutes
- its as simple as that!
- serve with spaghetti or any desired pasta
