MY PASTA BOLOGNAISE...

Easy peasy pasta is an easy dinner after work, there isn't much to prep and can cook in about 15 minutes. I came up with this recipe on a day i found myself with a mish-mash of ingredients and was in no mood to step out to the shops.

Pasta
Olive oil
250grms Minced meat
Chopped carrots, onions, spring onions
Garlic
Ginger
Green pepper
2 Cups of Red wine
2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of Tomato puree or 250ml Marinara Sauce
Parmesan cheese
2 Seasoning Cubes
Thyme and oregano
Chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

Brown minced meat, with chopped onions, garlic and ginger and allow to cook, turning every minute until browned. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and oregano and cook for another minute.



Add chopped ingredients to the pan.






Add tomato puree/marinara sauce and mix properly and allow cook for another 5 minutes on medium to low heat. Pour in Worcestershire sauce and red wine, stir and let it cook for another 5 minutes. The red wine gives it a full a nice full bodied flavour but is optional especially if you're using marinara sauce. Taste for seasoning and serve with pasta with some chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.




Enjoy with a nice glass of vino! :)
