Recipes:
Classic Fettuccine Bolognese
Ingredients:
12 oz fettuccine pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium carrot, finely diced
1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions:
Cook the pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Prepare the Bolognese sauce:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Cook the meat:
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Simmer the sauce:
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Lower the heat and let the sauce simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Combine pasta and sauce:
Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the Bolognese sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a bit of the reserved pasta water.
Serve and garnish:
Plate the pasta, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot!
This hearty and flavorful fettuccine Bolognese is a comforting classic that’s perfect for a cozy dinner. A rich sauce paired with tender pasta – it’s sure to impress!
