If you want to know my recipe of spaghetti bolognese, keep reading 🙂
Ingredients to make spaghetti bolognese:
- 500g beef mince meat;
- 250g pork mince meat;
- 250g tomato passata;
- 50g celery;
- 50g onions;
- 50g carrots;
- 250g white wine;
- 1 spoonful extra virgin olive oil;
- 3L water;
- 40g full fat milk;
- salt;
- pepper.
Method
How to make spaghetti bolognese
- Start by finely chopping up celery, onions and carrots, you need 50g of each.
- Put the oil in a frying pan, add the crushed celery, onions and carrots and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then.
- Now you can add both beef and pork into the pan and let everything cook until all the fat from the meat has evaporated (approx 15-20 mins).
- Now it’s time for some wine! 🙂 Well, don’t drink all of it though, you need some for the recipe! 😀 Add the wine, give it a good stir and let the alcohol evaporate.
- When the wine’s evaporated you can add the tomato passata and ONLY 1 LITER of water.
- Add salt and pepper, stir and let it cook over medium-low heat for an hour.
- After the first hour you can add another liter of water and cook it for another hour.
- Same again, add the last liter of water and let cook for an hour (3 hours in total).
- After three hours, taste it to check if it needs more salt or pepper and add the milk.
- A last 5 minutes of stirring and your ragu for your spaghetti bolognese is ready!
BUON APPETITO!
