Hi Everyone! I trust we're having a fun filled Summer already☺️😊.
Join me, as I make one of my favorite dishes. I enjoy eating pasta hence, I find different methods to prepare them. My mum prepared it for I and my siblings many years ago and ever since, I haven't gotten over it🤗. Though I'm basically using my personal recipe. You can as well try it out your favorite flavours during the process.
Bolognese is one of my favorites, and I mean it when I say it is, lol. I really can't wait to share my recipe with you... Follow me 😉
INGREDIENTS
1.Spaghetti 500g (any pasta of your choice)
2.Minced beef 500g (you can also use minced chicken, pork).
- Olive oil 100ml
- Onions 150g
- Garlic
- Tomatoes(diced)
- Tomato puree
- Whole milk 150ml( you might choose to use evaporated or skimmed)
- Bell peppers 50g each (I'll be using the green, red and yellow bell peppers.
- Pasley(some leaves)
- Ginger powder(1sp)
- Seasoning cubes (of course your
favorite spices are not left out 😂) - Salt to taste.
- An egg( to keep the Doctor away😂. Also optional)
PROCEDURE
I cooked my pasta in boiling water for some minutes. I prefer using boiling water to ensure it doesn't turn out sticky.
After few minutes, I added some salt to taste. And allow to cook for few minutes till done. I have another pot on the cooker to make the beef sauce already 😁
I diced my onions, garlic and bell peppers, carrots, tomatoes, red pepper and few leaves of Parsley. For the bell peppers, I love cutting them into something simple , lol... square shapes will do that for me because I want to have them a bit crunchy while munching 😂
I already had few cloves of garlic so I diced them together with my onions. I remember my mum telling me that I always called garlic "the sister of onion"😂... I can't tell what I was thinking as a toddler..lol.
For my tomatoes and red peppers, I like them chunky (You can also blend). And for my carrots, medium size is perfectly fine. I had few leaves of parsley preserved not for long in my fridge and why not, it'll add another flavour to it.
Now let's get to the real deal...
I put some olive oil in the pot to heat up.
I added the carrots and stir on a low heat.
After a minute of heating, I add my diced onions and garlic and pepper and stir for about two minutes.
Its time to add my minced beef and cook on a low heat. This is to allow the beef simmer properly and absorb some natural flavoring especially that of garlic.
I Cooked for about a 10-12 minutes until it turned to light brown.
Added some seasoning cubes and some spices. I used ginger powder and curry powder and nutmeg powder mixed with cinnamon. (Cinnamon is my favourite).
I proceeded to add the tomatoes and stirred properly.(you might decide to use mashed tomatoes and that is perfect fine)
I added a scoop of tomato puree and stirred evenly. This is to specialize the taste and flavour. I definitely love adding some puree to my meal😁
Some salt to taste. You can add more of your favorite spices. Why not? 🤭
I added half cup of milk. It adds a different yet an interesting kind of taste to the sauce. (You can as well choose not to)
Okay! This has to be one of my favourite. Yes!!! Veggiesssssss 😂 Not only do they make our recipe colourful, they have some many healthy benefits when added to our recipe.(Heat for 1-2 minutes)
Finally I added my chopped parsley and allowed to heat for a minute.
And Viola!!!
I added my eggs to the meal( the Doctor has to be far away 😂)
Its time to eattttt
